HS 151190

Refined Palm Oil and Fractions

U.S. imports of refined palm oil and fractions (HS 151190) totaled $104.8M in April 2026, traded with 26 countries.

Last updated: April 2026 data

Refined palm oil — bleached, deodorized, and fractionated into stearin and olein fractions for food manufacturing, confectionery, and personal-care applications — enters the US under tariff line 1511900000. Indonesia and Malaysia together dominate global refined palm oil supply and lead US imports under this heading, with Colombia and Ecuador representing significant Western Hemisphere sources. Like crude palm oil, refined palm oil supply chains are subject to CBP forced-labor enforcement scrutiny, and importers should maintain robust supplier documentation. For food-use shipments, FDA Prior Notice and food-facility registration requirements apply at entry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between palm olein and palm stearin, and are they classified separately from refined palm oil?

Palm olein (the liquid fraction) and palm stearin (the solid fraction) are both produced by fractionating refined palm oil and are classified under HTS 151190 alongside the unfractionated refined oil. They are not separately enumerated at the 6-digit level, though importers should verify whether any 10-digit US tariff lines distinguish fractions for duty or statistical purposes when filing entry.

Given that Indonesia and Malaysia dominate supply, what concentration risks should importers consider?

Heavy reliance on Indonesian and Malaysian supply exposes importers to disruptions from export-levy changes, weather-related crop shortfalls, and ongoing CBP forced-labor enforcement actions targeting specific producers. Diversifying toward Colombian or Ecuadorian suppliers — both of which appear among top US sources — can reduce origin-concentration risk, though importers should verify that alternative suppliers also meet labor-compliance documentation standards.
