About animal, vegetable or microbial fats, oils and their fractions; boiled, oxidised, dehydrated or otherwise chemically modified, excluding those of heading no. 1516, inedible mixtures or preparations of fats, oils or their fractions, n.e.c. in chapter 15

HS code 151800 covers a diverse range of chemically modified fats, oils, and their fractions, which are primarily used in industrial applications rather than for direct human consumption. These products play a crucial role in various industries, including manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and personal care, contributing to the broader global economy.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 151800 typically involves a range of chemical processes, such as boiling, oxidation, dehydration, and other modifications. These techniques are used to alter the physical and chemical properties of the raw materials, which may include animal, vegetable, or microbial fats and oils, to create specialized products with unique characteristics and functionalities.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 151800 include a variety of raw materials, such as 151110 Crude palm oil, 151211 Crude sunflower-seed or safflower oil, and 151411 Crude or refined low erucic acid rape or colza oil. Additionally, specialized equipment and machinery, as well as chemical reagents and catalysts, are necessary to carry out the various modification processes.

Production outputs

The outputs of the industry covered by HS code 151800 include a wide range of chemically modified fats, oils, and their fractions, which are primarily used in industrial applications. These products may be consumed by industries such as 340600 Candles, tapers and the like, 382319 Prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores; chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries, and 340590 Polishes, creams and similar preparations, for footwear, furniture, floors, coachwork, glass or metal, excluding artificial and prepared waxes of heading 3404.
