HS code for Crude groundnut oil: 1508.10
Vegetable oils, ground-nut oil and its fractions, crude, not chemically modified.
Classification of crude groundnut oil under HS 1508.10
Crude groundnut oil is classified under HS code 1508.10. This classification is straightforward as heading 1508 is dedicated solely to ground-nut oil and its fractions. Ground-nut oil, also known as peanut oil, is extracted from the seeds of the Arachis hypogaea plant. The subheading 1508.10 is designated for the crude state of the oil. In the context of international trade and the Harmonized System, "crude" refers to the oil as it exists immediately after extraction, before any refining steps like neutralization, bleaching, or deodorization have occurred. The oil is typically obtained through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction. Crude groundnut oil contains various non-triglyceride components, including phospholipids and sterols, which are removed during refining to increase the oil's smoke point and shelf life. The classification 1508.10 includes both the oil and its crude fractions. It is essential to distinguish this oil from other vegetable oils like soybean (1507) or sunflower (1512) because groundnut oil is often subject to different tariff rates and trade quotas. Accurate classification ensures that the importer complies with all relevant agricultural regulations and pays the correct amount of duty.

Codes often confused with 1508.10
Common mistake. Crude groundnut oil is often misclassified under 1508.90, which is the code for refined groundnut oil and its fractions. It can also be confused with 1507.10 (crude soya-bean oil) or 1512.11 (crude sunflower-seed oil) if the botanical origin is not clearly documented. Additionally, if the oil is hydrogenated, it must be moved to heading 1516.

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).
