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

HS v2022 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, playing a crucial role in the food, biofuel, and industrial sectors. As a major agricultural commodity, soya-bean oil production and trade are significant contributors to the broader economy.

Production process

Soya-bean oil is primarily produced through the extraction and refining of soybeans. The key steps involve cleaning and conditioning the soybeans, followed by mechanical or chemical extraction to separate the oil from the solids. The extracted oil may then undergo various refining processes, such as degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization, to improve its quality and stability.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for soya-bean oil production include soybeans as the primary raw material, as well as processing equipment such as oil presses, centrifuges, and refining machinery. Additional inputs may include chemicals for the refining process, such as acids, alkalis, and bleaching agents. Energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are also necessary for the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 1507 is refined and unrefined soya-bean oil, which can be used in a wide range of applications. These include 1517 Margarine and edible mixtures or preparations of animal or vegetable fats or oils or of fractions of different fats or oils of this chapter, not elsewhere specified or included, 2304 Oil-cake and other solid residues, whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of soya-bean oil, and 3823 Industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids; acid oils from refining; industrial fatty alcohols.
