Classification of crude olive pomace oil under HS 1510.10
Crude olive pomace oil is classified under HS code 1510.10. This classification is situated within 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. Subheading 1510.10 is designated for the crude version of olive pomace oil. This oil is typically extracted from the residue (pomace) remaining after the mechanical pressing of olives for virgin olive oil. The extraction usually involves solvents like hexane to recover the remaining oil content from the skins, pits, and pulp. The \"crude\" designation indicates that the oil has not yet been refined to remove free fatty acids, pigments, or unpleasant odors. It is a distinct product from virgin olive oils because of its extraction method and source material. Proper classification is essential because pomace oil is subject to different quality standards and trade regulations compared to high-grade edible olive oils.

Codes often confused with 1510.10
Common mistake. Crude olive pomace oil is often confused with virgin olive oil, which is classified under HS code 1509.20 or 1509.30. The primary difference is that 1509 oils are obtained solely by mechanical means, while 1510 oils involve solvent extraction from the residue. It is also frequently confused with refined olive pomace oil, which falls under HS code 1510.90. The crude version (1510.10) must undergo refining before it is suitable for human consumption.

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).
