Vegetable oils, coconut (copra) oil and its fractions, crude, not chemically modified.
Classification of crude coconut oil under HS 1513.11
Crude coconut oil is classified under HS code 1513.11. This classification is found in Chapter 15, which covers animal or vegetable fats and oils and their cleavage products, prepared edible fats, and animal or vegetable waxes. Heading 1513 specifically includes coconut (copra), palm kernel, or babassu oil and their fractions, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified. Subheading 1513.11 is reserved for the crude form of coconut oil. "Crude" in this context refers to oil that has been extracted from the copra (dried coconut meat) but has not yet undergone the refining, bleaching, or deodorizing (RBD) processes. The classification is strictly for oil that has not been chemically modified, as modification would lead to classification in different headings. This code is essential for distinguishing raw industrial or food-grade inputs from finished, refined consumer products.

Another error is confusing it with 1513.21, which is for crude palm kernel or babassu oil. If the oil has been hydrogenated or chemically modified, it must be classified under 1516.20.

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).
