Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 151010 when importing or exporting crude olive pomace oil, which is extracted from the residue left after olives are pressed. This oil can be used for cooking or in food production, and it may be shipped in bulk or in containers.
This HS-6 code specifically covers crude olive pomace oil, distinguishing it from refined olive oils classified under HS-6 1509. While refined oils undergo processing to remove impurities, crude olive pomace oil retains more of the natural characteristics of the olives.
When considering shipments, note that crude olive pomace oil is often used in food manufacturing or as an ingredient in various culinary applications. It is less expensive than higher-grade olive oils, making it a popular choice for commercial kitchens.
If you're dealing with blends of olive pomace oil and other oils, ensure you check the composition. Such blends may fall under different classifications, so it's crucial to verify the exact oil content to avoid misclassification.
