Last updated: July 2026 dataCrude corn oil is a co-product of wet and dry corn milling, widely used as a feedstock for further refining into food-grade cooking oil and as an industrial input for biodiesel and animal feed. The US schedule distinguishes food-grade crude corn oil (1515210010) from other crude corn oil (1515210050), a split that affects admissibility review: food-grade product is subject to FDA oversight, while non-food-grade material may enter under different compliance pathways. Canada is the leading supplier, consistent with its integrated corn processing industry and USMCA trade relationship with the US.

The US tariff schedule separates food-grade crude corn oil (1515210010) from other crude corn oil not elsewhere specified (1515210050). Food-grade product must meet FDA standards and is subject to admissibility review at entry. Non-food-grade crude oil intended for industrial or feed use may follow a different compliance path, but the intended end-use must be clearly documented to support the claimed classification.
Importers should have a commercial invoice specifying the processing method (wet-milled vs. dry-milled), intended end-use (food vs. industrial), and country of origin. For food-grade product, FDA prior notice is required. A certificate of analysis confirming free fatty acid content and absence of chemical modification supports both classification and admissibility. Consulting a licensed customs broker is recommended given the food/non-food line distinction.
