Ground nut oil and its fractions; whether or not refined, but not chemically modified

HS v2022 Code: 1508

About ground nut oil and its fractions; whether or not refined, but not chemically modified

HS code 1508 covers ground nut oil and its fractions, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified. This edible vegetable oil is derived from the seeds of the groundnut plant, also known as peanuts. Ground nut oil is widely used in cooking, food processing, and various industrial applications, making it an important commodity in the global agricultural and trade landscape.

Production process

The production of ground nut oil typically involves several key steps. First, the groundnuts are harvested, cleaned, and processed to extract the oil-bearing seeds. These seeds are then pressed or extracted using solvents to separate the oil from the solid components. The extracted oil may undergo further refining, bleaching, and deodorizing processes to improve its clarity, flavor, and stability, depending on the intended use.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the ground nut oil industry include the raw groundnut seeds, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, the production process requires specialized machinery and equipment for oil extraction, refining, and packaging. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary to power the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The primary output of the ground nut oil industry is the refined or unrefined ground nut oil itself. This oil can be used directly for cooking and food preparation, or it can be further processed and incorporated into a wide range of products, including 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, 2924 Carboxyamide-function compounds; amide-function compounds of carbonic acid, and 3823 Industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids; acid oils from refining; industrial fatty alcohols.
