About HS Code 150810
This HS code covers crude ground-nut (peanut) oil and its fractions, which have not been chemically modified. Crude ground-nut oil is extracted directly from peanuts and retains a strong nutty flavor and aroma, making it suitable for certain culinary applications, particularly in Asian and African cuisines, and as a raw material for further refining. It is also used in some industrial applications. Major importers are typically countries with a high demand for peanut-based products or those that lack sufficient domestic peanut cultivation and processing capacity, such as China, the Netherlands, and some European countries. Exporters are primarily major peanut-producing nations like Argentina, Senegal, and the USA, as well as countries with significant oilseed crushing industries. Trade in crude ground-nut oil is influenced by global peanut harvests, consumer preferences for specific flavors, and the increasing demand for natural, unrefined oils. Quality parameters like free fatty acid content and moisture are crucial for trade.
