HS code for Blended olive oil: 1510.90

Classification of blended olive oil under HS 1510.90
Blended olive oil is classified under HS code 1510.90. This code is part of Chapter 15, which covers animal or vegetable fats and oils. Heading 1510 is specifically for other oils and their fractions, obtained solely from olives, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified. This includes olive pomace oil and blends of these oils with oils from heading 1509 (virgin olive oils). The classification is determined by the source of the oil (olives) and the processing method. Unlike virgin olive oil, which is extracted purely by mechanical means, blended olive oils often contain refined olive pomace oil. The subheading 1510.90 acts as a residual category for olive-derived oils that do not meet the strict criteria for 'virgin' or 'extra virgin' status but are still composed entirely of olive-sourced fats. This classification is vital for ensuring that the product is not confused with higher-grade culinary oils or lower-grade industrial vegetable oil blends.

Codes often confused with 1510.90
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification is under HS code 1509.90, which is for refined olive oil and its blends. However, if the blend contains any olive pomace oil (extracted using solvents), it must be moved to 1510.90. Another error is classification under 1517.90, which covers edible mixtures of different vegetable oils. If the olive oil is blended with sunflower or soybean oil, it loses its 1510 status and must be classified under 1517.

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).
