Vegetable oils; ground-nut oil and its fractions, other than crude, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified

HS v2017 Code: 150890

About vegetable oils; ground-nut oil and its fractions, other than crude, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified

HS code 150890 covers a wide range of vegetable oils and their refined fractions, excluding crude oils. These oils are essential commodities in the global food and industrial supply chains, with ground-nut oil being a particularly important product within this category. The versatility and widespread use of these oils make them a crucial component of the broader agricultural and manufacturing sectors.

Production process

The production of vegetable oils under HS code 150890 typically involves a multi-step refining process. This includes extraction, degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization to remove impurities and improve the oil's quality and stability. Depending on the specific oil, additional steps such as winterization or hydrogenation may be employed to modify the oil's physical and chemical properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of vegetable oils under HS code 150890 include oilseeds, such as ground-nuts, as well as various processing equipment and chemicals used in the refining process. This includes machinery for oil extraction, storage tanks, and specialized equipment for the different refining stages. Chemical inputs may include acids, alkalis, and adsorbents used for neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 150890 are refined vegetable oils and their fractions, which are then used as ingredients in a wide range of food and industrial products. These oils may be further processed or blended for use in 150710 Soya-bean oil and its fractions, 150810 Ground-nut oil and its fractions, or 151190 Palm oil and its fractions, refined, but not chemically modified.
