HS Code 1514.19 – Vegetable oils; low erucic acid rape or colza oil and its fractions, other than crude, but not chemically modified
HS code 1514.19 is the 6-digit subheading for vegetable oils, low erucic acid rape or colza oil and its fractions, other than crude, but not chemically modified. It is used for refined canola oil, RBD canola oil, refined low erucic acid rapeseed oil, hydrogenated canola oil and canola cooking oil.
What HS 1514.19 covers
This category covers refined, bleached, and deodorized (RBD) low erucic acid rape or colza oil, widely known as canola oil, that has not been chemically modified. This processed form is a staple in global food markets, used extensively as cooking oil, in salad dressings, and in the production of margarines and shortenings. Unlike its crude counterpart, this oil is ready for direct consumer or industrial use, having undergone purification steps to remove impurities, color, and odor. Key importers are countries with large consumer bases and food manufacturing industries, such as the United States, China, and various European nations. Exporters include countries with advanced refining capabilities and significant rapeseed production, like Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands (often re-exporting after refining). Trade considerations include packaging requirements, shelf-life, and compliance with food safety and labeling regulations, making it a high-value processed agricultural product.

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).
