HS Code 1508.10 – Vegetable oils; ground-nut oil and its fractions, crude, not chemically modified
HS code 1508.10 is the 6-digit subheading for vegetable oils, ground-nut oil and its fractions, crude, not chemically modified. It is used for crude peanut oil, unrefined groundnut oil, raw groundnut oil, groundnut oil for refining and groundnut oil for traditional cooking.
What HS 1508.10 covers
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.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
