HS code for Crude peanut oil: 1508.10
Vegetable oils, ground-nut oil and its fractions, crude, not chemically modified.
Classification of crude peanut oil under HS 1508.10
Crude peanut oil, also referred to as ground-nut oil, is classified under HS code 1508.10. This classification is determined by the botanical origin of the oil and its state of processing. The oil must be derived from the seeds of the Arachis hypogaea plant. Under the Harmonized System, "crude" oils are those that have been obtained by simple pressure or by solvent extraction, even if they have been subjected to certain preliminary treatments such as settling, centrifugation, or filtration to remove solid particles. However, the oil must not have been subjected to any chemical modification or refining processes like alkali treatment, bleaching, or deodorization. Peanut oil is unique because of its high smoke point and specific fatty acid profile, but for classification purposes, the primary focus is on the lack of post-extraction processing. If the oil is subjected to a process that changes its chemical structure or removes its characteristic color and odor, it must be classified under 1508.90. Accurate classification is essential because peanut oil is often subject to specific agricultural quotas and sanitary/phytosanitary (SPS) measures in various jurisdictions. The presence of any additives or the blending with other oils would also disqualify the product from this specific subheading, potentially moving it to Chapter 1517 for vegetable oil preparations.

Codes often confused with 1508.10

Additionally, it may be confused with other vegetable oils like sunflower oil (1512.11) or soybean oil (1507.10) if the botanical origin is not clearly documented in the shipping manifests or laboratory analysis.

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).
