Coconut (copra), palm kernel or babassu oil and their fractions; whether or not refined but not chemically modified

HS v2022 Code: 1513

About coconut (copra), palm kernel or babassu oil and their fractions; whether or not refined but not chemically modified

HS code 1513 covers a range of vegetable oils derived from coconut, palm kernel, and babassu. These oils are widely used in the food, cosmetic, and oleochemical industries, making them an important part of the global economy. As a major source of fats and oils, the 1513 industry plays a crucial role in meeting the world's growing demand for edible and industrial oils.

Production process

The production of oils under HS code 1513 typically involves a series of extraction, refining, and fractionation processes. Coconut, palm kernel, and babassu nuts are first mechanically pressed to extract the crude oil. This crude oil is then refined through processes like degumming, bleaching, and deodorizing to remove impurities and improve quality. Fractionation may also be used to separate the oil into different fractions with varying properties and applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the 1513 industry include the raw materials of coconut, palm kernel, and babassu nuts. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as oil presses, refiners, and fractionation units, are also essential for the production process. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of supporting services, including transportation, storage, and packaging.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 1513 industry are the refined and fractionated oils, which find a wide range of applications. These oils are used in the production of 1517 Margarine and edible mixtures or preparations of animal or vegetable fats or oils, 3401 Soap; organic surface-active products and preparations for use as soap, in the form of bars, cakes, moulded pieces or shapes, whether or not containing soap; organic surface-active products and preparations for washing the skin, in the form of liquid or cream and put up for retail sale, whether or not containing soap; paper, wadding, felt and nonwovens, impregnated, coated or covered with soap or detergent, and 3823 Industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids; acid oils from refining; industrial fatty alcohols, among other products.
