About vegetable oils; coconut (copra) oil and its fractions, other than crude, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified

HS code 151319 covers a wide range of processed coconut (copra) oil products, which are an important part of the global vegetable oil industry. Coconut oil is a versatile and highly sought-after commodity, with applications in food, cosmetics, and industrial sectors. As a major producer and exporter of coconut oil, this industry plays a significant role in the economies of many tropical countries.

Production process

The production of coconut oil under HS code 151319 typically involves several key steps. First, coconuts are harvested and the meat (copra) is extracted. The copra is then dried, either naturally or using mechanical driers, to reduce the moisture content. Next, the dried copra is pressed or extracted to obtain the crude coconut oil. This crude oil may then undergo further refining, bleaching, and deodorizing processes to produce the finished, edible coconut oil products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of coconut oil under HS code 151319 include the raw coconut (copra) as the primary feedstock, as well as various processing equipment such as driers, presses, and refining machinery. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary to power the production facilities. Additionally, chemicals like bleaching earth and deodorizing agents may be used in the refining process.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 151319 are refined, bleached, and deodorized coconut oil products, which can be further classified into different grades and applications. These coconut oil products may be consumed by a variety of other industries, such as 151110 Vegetable oils, crude for food processing, 330499 Cosmetics and toilet preparations, n.e.c. for personal care products, and 340119 Soap and organic surface-active products and preparations, n.e.c. for soap and detergent manufacturing.
