Last updated: July 2026 dataCottonseed oil refined beyond crude but not chemically modified is classified at two distinct processing levels: once-refined (1512290020) and fully refined (1512290040), a split that directly affects duty treatment and end-use suitability. Ukraine leads US import supply, followed by Spain and China. Fully refined cottonseed oil is used in frying, salad dressings, and snack-food manufacturing, while once-refined material typically undergoes further domestic processing. FDA regulates cottonseed oil as a food ingredient, and importers should ensure that refining-stage documentation aligns with the declared HTS line. Admissibility and classification are complex; consultation with a licensed customs broker is advisable.

Once-refined cottonseed oil (1512290020) has undergone a single refining step — typically degumming or neutralization — and retains color and some impurities. Fully refined cottonseed oil (1512290040) has been bleached and deodorized to food-grade standards. The degree of refining must be supported by processing documentation from the foreign manufacturer to substantiate the correct 10-digit line at entry.
Imports from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers sourcing refined cottonseed oil from China should confirm the applicable Section 301 list status and any exclusions with a licensed customs broker before shipment, as the tariff exposure can materially affect landed cost.
