HS Code 1510.10 – Vegetable oils; crude olive pomace oil and their fractions, obtained solely from olives, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified
HS code 1510.10 is the 6-digit subheading for vegetable oils, crude olive pomace oil and their fractions, obtained solely from olives, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified. It is used for crude olive pomace oil, unrefined olive pomace oil, olive pomace oil fractions (crude), raw olive pomace oil and industrial-grade crude olive pomace oil.
What HS 1510.10 covers
This HS code specifically covers crude olive pomace oil and its fractions, obtained solely from olives, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified. This oil is extracted from the residual pulp and pits (pomace) left after the first pressing of olives for virgin olive oil. As a crude product, it is typically not suitable for direct human consumption without further refining. It plays a significant role in industrial applications, particularly in the production of soaps, cosmetics, and as a biofuel component. Major olive oil-producing countries such as Spain, Italy, and Greece are the primary exporters, as they generate substantial quantities of olive pomace. Importers include industrial manufacturers in the United States, China, and India, seeking cost-effective fatty substances. Trade in this commodity often involves bulk shipments and is driven by industrial demand rather than culinary preferences. The market is influenced by the overall olive harvest and the demand for its various industrial end-uses.

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).
