Last updated: April 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.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
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.
