HS v2022 Code: 151329

About vegetable oils; palm kernel or babassu oil and their fractions, other than crude, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified

HS code 151329 covers a range of refined and processed vegetable oils, including palm kernel and babassu oils. These oils are widely used in the food, cosmetic, and industrial sectors, playing a crucial role in the global economy. As a major source of fats and oils, the 151329 industry is integral to the broader agricultural and manufacturing supply chains.

Production process

The production of oils under HS code 151329 typically involves a multi-step refining process. This may include techniques such as degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization to remove impurities and improve the quality and stability of the final product. Advanced processing methods, such as fractionation, may also be employed to separate the oils into more specialized fractions with distinct properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 151329 industry include the raw palm kernels or babassu nuts, which are the primary sources of the oils. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized processing equipment, such as oil presses, centrifuges, and distillation units, as well as various chemical reagents used in the refining process. Energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are also essential for powering the production facilities.

Production outputs

The refined and processed oils covered under HS code 151329 are used in a wide range of applications, including food preparation, personal care products, and industrial lubricants. These oils may be further consumed by industries represented by other HS codes, such as 151110 Vegetable oils; palm oil, crude and 340111 Soap; for toilet use, including medicated products.
