About vegetable oils; olive oil and its fractions, other than virgin, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified

HS code 150990 covers a wide range of vegetable oils, including olive oil, that have undergone some form of processing beyond the virgin stage. These oils play a crucial role in the global food and industrial supply chains, providing essential ingredients for a variety of products. The trade in these refined and processed vegetable oils is a significant component of the international import/export economy, with significant volumes moving between countries to meet the diverse needs of manufacturers, food processors, and consumers.

Production process

The production of the vegetable oils covered under HS code 150990 typically involves a multi-step process. After the initial extraction of the raw oil from the source material, such as olives, the oil undergoes various refining techniques, which may include neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization. These processes help to remove impurities, improve the oil's stability, and enhance its flavor and appearance, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the vegetable oils under HS code 150990 include the raw agricultural commodities, such as olives, as well as specialized equipment and machinery for the extraction and refining processes. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of chemicals and solvents used in the various purification and processing steps.

Production outputs

The vegetable oils produced under HS code 150990 are used in a wide variety of applications, including food preparation, cooking, and industrial processes. These oils are often consumed as ingredients in the production of 150910 Virgin olive oil and its fractions, 151000 Other oils and their fractions, obtained solely from olives, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified, and 151590 (Other fixed vegetable fats and oils (including jojoba oil), and their fractions, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified).
