Vegetable oils; castor oil and its fractions, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified

HS subheading 1515.30 identifies Vegetable oils; castor oil and its fractions, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified — a six-digit classification under Chapter 15 used to set duty and paperwork.

Sourcing this category from India

HS 1515.30 covers Vegetable oils; castor oil and its fractions, 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.

How to read this code

1515.30 is the six-digit HS subheading. Your destination country extends it to 8–10 digits and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty for many goods — check our import guides for your market.
