HS v2017 Code: 1507

About soya-bean oil and its fractions; whether or not refined, but not chemically modified

HS code 1507 covers soya-bean oil and its fractions, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified. Soya-bean oil is one of the most widely traded and consumed vegetable oils globally, with significant applications in the food, cosmetic, and biofuel industries. As a major agricultural commodity, the soya-bean oil industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy, contributing to global food security and supporting the livelihoods of farmers and producers worldwide.

Production process

The production of soya-bean oil typically involves a series of steps, including harvesting and processing of soya beans, oil extraction, and refining. Soya beans are first cleaned, dehulled, and crushed to extract the crude oil. This crude oil is then refined through processes such as degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization to remove impurities and improve the oil's quality and stability.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the soya-bean oil industry include soya beans as the primary raw material, as well as various processing equipment and machinery for oil extraction, refining, and packaging. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of supporting infrastructure, such as transportation networks, storage facilities, and energy sources to facilitate the production and distribution of soya-bean oil.

Production outputs

The primary output of the soya-bean oil industry is refined soya-bean oil, which has a wide range of applications. Soya-bean oil is commonly used in the food industry for cooking, frying, and as an ingredient in various food products. It is also used in the production of 1516 Vegetable fats and oils and their fractions, 3401 Soap; organic surface-active products and preparations for use as soap, in the form of bars, cakes, moulded pieces or shapes, whether or not containing soap; organic surface-active products and preparations for washing the skin, in the form of liquid or cream and put up for retail sale, whether or not containing soap; paper, wadding, felt and nonwovens, impregnated, coated or covered with soap or detergent, and 3823 Industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids; acid oils from refining; industrial fatty alcohols.
