Last updated: August 2026 dataRefined groundnut oil — processed to remove free fatty acids, color, and odor — is classified under a single line (1508900000) and serves food-service, specialty cooking, and industrial lubricant markets in the US. India leads supply under this heading, with Nicaragua and Hong Kong also appearing as notable sources. Unlike crude peanut oil, the refining process substantially reduces allergen proteins, though FDA still requires proper labeling of peanut-derived ingredients under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act. Admissibility determinations can be complex; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA before importing.

Yes. FDA requires that peanut be declared as a major food allergen on labels of food products containing peanut-derived ingredients, including refined peanut oil, unless the oil has been determined to be highly refined and shown not to contain allergenic protein. Importers should verify with their FDA counsel whether their specific refined oil qualifies for any allergen labeling exemption.
Classification within heading 1508 turns on the source material (peanuts/groundnuts) rather than the refining method. The split between 150810 (crude) and 150890 (refined) depends on whether the oil has undergone refining processes such as neutralization, bleaching, or deodorization. Importers should obtain a processing certificate or technical data sheet from the supplier to substantiate the correct subheading.
