Last updated: July 2026 dataCrude palm oil (CPO) is a globally traded commodity and a primary feedstock for food manufacturing, oleochemicals, and biodiesel, classified under a single 10-digit line (1511100000). Ghana leads US import supply under this heading, with Malaysia — the world's second-largest palm oil producer — and Ecuador also among the top sources. CPO is subject to heightened supply-chain scrutiny: US Customs and Border Protection has issued Withhold Release Orders (WROs) targeting palm oil from specific Malaysian producers linked to forced labor concerns, making supplier due diligence and documentation of labor compliance a critical part of import risk management. FDA oversight applies to food-grade shipments.

CBP has issued WROs against specific Malaysian palm oil producers and their subsidiaries under 19 U.S.C. § 1307, which prohibits importation of goods made with forced labor. Importers sourcing Malaysian CPO must conduct supplier-level due diligence — including social audits and supply-chain mapping — to confirm their specific supplier is not subject to an active WRO. Shipments from a WRO-listed entity will be detained at the port of entry regardless of the tariff classification.
CPO imported in crude form is almost always destined for further processing — refining, bleaching, and deodorizing (RBD) — before use in food products such as shortenings, margarines, and confectionery coatings, or in oleochemical and biofuel applications. Importers should document the intended downstream use, as this affects both FDA admissibility treatment and any applicable state-level environmental or biofuel regulations.
