Last updated: August 2026 dataOlive pomace oil is extracted from the solid residue (pomace) remaining after mechanical olive pressing, typically using solvent extraction — a processing distinction that separates it from virgin and refined olive oils and places it in heading 1510 rather than 1509. The US schedule divides crude pomace oil by container weight: under 18 kg (1510101000) and 18 kg and over (1510109000), with a legacy single-line code (1510100000) also present. Spain and Italy are the leading suppliers, with Turkey and Morocco also active. Crude pomace oil requires further refining before it is suitable for food use, and importers should document the intended industrial or refining end-use to facilitate FDA admissibility review. Admissibility is complex; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA before importing.

Pomace oil is derived from the solid olive residue after pressing, using solvent extraction (typically hexane), rather than from the olive fruit itself by mechanical means. This production method places it in heading 1510 rather than 1509. The crude form under 151010 must be refined before food use, and the refining step is what distinguishes crude pomace oil from the refined pomace oil and blends covered under 151090.
Yes. Crude pomace oil may contain elevated levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) introduced during the solvent extraction and drying process. Several markets have established maximum limits for PAHs in refined pomace oil. FDA may test shipments for contaminants, and importers should request PAH analysis certificates from suppliers, particularly for lots intended for further food-grade refining.
