Overview
HTS code 1511.90.00.00 encompasses palm oil and its fractions that have been refined but not chemically modified, excluding crude oil. This category includes palm oil that has undergone processes such as bleaching or deodorizing to improve its quality, appearance, or odor, making it suitable for consumption or further industrial use. It represents the bulk of refined palm oil products available in the market.
This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 1511.10.00.00, which specifically covers crude palm oil. Crude palm oil is unrefined and retains more of its natural characteristics, including color and odor, while 1511.90.00.00 covers products that have had these aspects altered through refining. The key differentiator is the processing applied; if the palm oil or its fractions have been refined, even without chemical modification, they fall under this heading.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 1511.90.00.00 relies solely on the determination that the product is refined palm oil or a fraction thereof, and has not undergone chemical modification. Examples of products that would be classified here include refined palm olein, refined palm stearin, and other refined fractions of palm oil, provided they meet the specified criteria.
