Last updated: April 2026 dataRefined palm oil enters the US under a single 10-digit line (1511900000) and is widely used in food manufacturing, personal care, and oleochemical applications. Indonesia and Malaysia together dominate global supply, making this heading particularly sensitive to Southeast Asian export policy shifts and sustainability certification requirements such as RSPO. Importers should note that FDA regulates edible palm oil as a food ingredient, and labeling requirements for partially saturated fats apply at the finished-product level. Supply from Colombia and the Philippines provides some geographic diversification, though origin-specific traceability documentation is increasingly demanded by US buyers.

Refined palm oil is not currently subject to broad Section 301 or antidumping orders in the US, but importers sourcing from Indonesia or Malaysia should monitor any country-specific measures and ensure compliance with Customs and Border Protection's Withhold Release Orders related to forced-labor concerns in palm oil supply chains.
Many US food and consumer-goods buyers require RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) certification or equivalent chain-of-custody documentation. While this is a commercial rather than a statutory requirement, failure to provide it can block sales to major retailers. FDA also requires accurate ingredient labeling for palm oil used in food products.
