HS Code 1513.19 – Vegetable oils; coconut (copra) oil and its fractions, other than crude, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified
HS code 1513.19 is the 6-digit subheading for vegetable oils, coconut (copra) oil and its fractions, other than crude, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified. It is used for refined coconut oil, fractionated coconut oil, virgin coconut oil (refined), deodorized coconut oil and hydrogenated coconut oil (not chemically modified).
What HS 1513.19 covers
This HS code covers refined coconut (copra) oil and its fractions, which have been processed beyond their crude state but not chemically modified. These versatile oils are extensively traded for a multitude of applications, ranging from food products like confectionery and baked goods to cosmetics, personal care items, and even industrial uses such as lubricants and biofuels. Major exporters are tropical countries with abundant coconut cultivation, primarily the Philippines, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka, which process the raw copra into refined oil. Key importers include developed nations like the United States, the European Union, and Japan, where it's utilized by food manufacturers, cosmetic brands, and industrial sectors. Critical aspects of this trade involve adherence to international quality standards, the efficiency of refining processes, and the impact of climate change on coconut yields. Furthermore, for markets like the EU, the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is becoming a significant factor, requiring robust traceability and sustainability assurances for coconut oil products to ensure they are deforestation-free.

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).
