About vegetable oils; cotton-seed oil and its fractions; crude, whether or not gossypol has been removed, not chemically modified

HS code 151221 covers the trade and production of crude cotton-seed oil, a versatile vegetable oil with a wide range of applications. As a major agricultural commodity, cotton-seed oil plays a crucial role in the global edible oils market, contributing to food security and supporting the livegetable oil processing industry worldwide.

Production process

The production of crude cotton-seed oil typically involves the mechanical extraction of oil from cotton seeds, often through processes like pressing or solvent extraction. The crude oil may then undergo further refining, bleaching, and deodorizing to produce finished products suitable for various end-uses.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the cotton-seed oil industry include cotton seeds, which are the raw material for oil extraction. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for oil processing, as well as energy sources and other utilities to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The main output of HS code 151221 is crude cotton-seed oil, which can be further processed and refined into a variety of products. These include edible oils for cooking and food preparation, as well as industrial oils used in the manufacture of 340510 Polishes and creams, 382319 Prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores, and other applications.
