Chapter 15: Animal or vegetable fats and oils
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 150890 when importing or exporting refined groundnut oil and its fractions, which are not chemically modified. For example, a shipment of 1,000 liters of refined groundnut oil for cooking purposes would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers refined vegetable oils derived from groundnuts, distinguishing them from crude oils classified under HS-6 150810. While 150810 includes unrefined groundnut oil, 150890 pertains to the refined product, suitable for culinary and industrial uses.
If you're dealing with groundnut oil that has undergone refining processes but remains chemically unaltered, this is the correct classification. It's important to note that oils labeled as chemically modified would not qualify for this HS-6.
You may also encounter similar codes for other vegetable oils, such as HS-6 150910 for refined palm oil. However, the key difference lies in the source and processing methods of the oils.
