U.S. imports of Crude Coconut (Copra) Oil (HS 151311) totaled $31.8M in August 2026, imported from 11 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataCrude coconut oil — extracted from dried copra — enters the US under a single 10-digit line (1513110000) and is a primary feedstock for both food-grade refining and oleochemical production of surfactants and personal-care ingredients. The Philippines is the dominant US supplier, with Indonesia a close second; Sri Lanka and Samoa serve niche specialty and organic channels. Because crude coconut oil is a food commodity, FDA governs its admissibility, and importers should ensure that aflatoxin and free-fatty-acid specifications are met before shipment. Admissibility and classification are complex; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA prior to entry.

Free fatty acid (FFA) content and moisture levels are the primary quality parameters that determine whether crude coconut oil is suitable for food-grade refining or must be directed to industrial use. Aflatoxin contamination from improperly dried copra is a recurring FDA concern; importers should require certificates of analysis from accredited laboratories and verify that the foreign supplier is not on FDA's Import Alert list.
Both countries have large, established copra-processing industries and favorable tropical growing conditions for coconut palms. The Philippines in particular has historically been the world's largest coconut oil exporter, with well-developed infrastructure for crude oil extraction and export. Importers relying heavily on either origin should monitor typhoon-season crop impacts, which can cause significant supply disruptions.
