HS v2017 Code: 151319

About vegetable oils; coconut (copra) oil and its fractions, other than crude, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified

HS code 151319 covers a wide range of refined and processed coconut (copra) oils and their fractions. These oils are an important part of the global vegetable oil market, with applications in food, cosmetics, and industrial sectors. Coconut oil is a versatile and valuable commodity, playing a significant role in the international trade of edible and non-edible oils.

Production process

The production of coconut oil under HS code 151319 typically involves several key steps. First, coconuts are harvested and the meat (copra) is extracted. The copra is then dried, either naturally or using mechanical driers, to reduce the moisture content. Next, the dried copra is pressed or extracted to obtain the crude coconut oil. This crude oil is then refined, bleached, and deodorized to produce the finished, edible-grade coconut oil and its various fractions.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of coconut oil under HS code 151319 include raw coconuts, processing equipment such as driers and oil presses, and energy sources for powering the production facilities. Additionally, chemicals and other materials may be used in the refining and fractionation processes to improve the quality and properties of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 151319 are refined coconut oil and its various fractions, such as coconut oil, coconut oil fractions, and hydrogenated coconut oil. These products are widely used in the food industry, as well as in the production of personal care items, soaps, and other industrial applications. The outputs of HS code 151319 may be further processed or consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 151110 Vegetable oils, crude and 340111 Soap and organic surface-active products and preparations, for use as soap, in the form of bars, cakes, moulded pieces or shapes.
