HS Code 1513.11 – Vegetable oils; coconut (copra) oil and its fractions, crude, not chemically modified
HS code 1513.11 is the 6-digit subheading for vegetable oils, coconut (copra) oil and its fractions, crude, not chemically modified. It is used for crude coconut oil, crude copra oil, unrefined coconut oil, coconut oil for industrial use and crude coconut olein.
What HS 1513.11 covers
This HS code specifically covers crude coconut (copra) oil and its fractions that have not been chemically modified. Crude coconut oil is extracted from dried coconut meat (copra) and is a significant commodity in global trade. It is primarily used for further refining into edible oil, which is then utilized in cooking, baking, and as an ingredient in confectionery and processed foods. Beyond food, it's a vital raw material for the oleochemical industry, producing soaps, detergents, and cosmetics. Major importers include countries with large food processing and chemical industries, such as the USA, EU nations, and China. The leading exporters are tropical countries with abundant coconut plantations, primarily the Philippines, Indonesia, and India. Key considerations for trade include global coconut harvests, weather patterns, price volatility, and increasingly, sustainability certifications and regulations like the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which impacts market access and traceability requirements.

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).
