About vegetable oils; palm kernel or babassu oil and their fractions, crude, not chemically modified

HS code 151321 covers the import and export of crude, unmodified palm kernel or babassu oil and their fractions. These vegetable oils are widely used in a variety of industries, including food processing, cosmetics, and biofuel production. As a major global commodity, the trade of palm kernel and babassu oils plays a significant role in the broader agricultural and energy sectors.

Production process

The production of palm kernel and babassu oils typically involves the extraction of oil from the kernels or nuts of the respective palm trees. This is commonly done through mechanical pressing or chemical extraction methods. The crude oils are then further refined and processed to meet the specific requirements of different end-use applications.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the production of HS code 151321 products include the raw palm kernels or babassu nuts, as well as the machinery and equipment necessary for the extraction and processing of the oils. Significant energy resources, such as electricity or fuel, are also required to power the production facilities. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the equipment and manage the various stages of the production process.

Production outputs

The main outputs of HS code 151321 are the crude, unmodified palm kernel and babassu oils, as well as their various fractions. These oils are then consumed by a range of other industries, such as 151110 Vegetable oils and their fractions, crude, not chemically modified, 151190 Vegetable oils and their fractions, refined but not chemically modified, and 382499 Chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries, not elsewhere specified or included, which use them as inputs for the production of food products, cosmetics, biofuels, and other industrial applications.
