Sourcing this category from India

HS 1512.19 covers Vegetable oils; sunflower seed or safflower oil and their fractions, other than crude, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. India is the dominant world supplier of castor oil and a significant exporter of processed vegetable oils and oleochemicals. India exported $30.2M under this code worldwide in 2024, about 1.5% of all Chapter 15 exports, ranking #1 of 3 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).

How to read this code

1512.19 is the six-digit HS subheading for vegetable oils. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many animal, vegetable & microbial fats & oils lines — check our import guides for your market.
