Last updated: April 2026 dataRefined soybean oil enters the US market across several distinct tariff lines depending on processing stage and end use: pharmaceutical-grade fat emulsions valued over $5/kg (1507902000), once-refined oil (1507904020), and fully refined grades (1507904040, 1507904050). Canada and Mexico are the leading suppliers, with Argentina a significant third source, reflecting proximity and established oilseed-processing infrastructure. Importers should note that container size, refining degree, and intended application all affect classification, making precise specification documentation essential at entry. FDA oversight applies to food-grade shipments, and labeling compliance under 21 CFR is a routine point of examination.

The schedule separates once-refined, not chemically modified soybean oil (1507904020) from fully refined, not chemically modified grades (1507904040 and 1507904050). The degree of refining — typically measured by free fatty acid content, color, and odor — must be documented by the exporter to support the correct classification at entry.
Pharmaceutical-grade fat emulsions must meet FDA standards for drug or medical-device ingredients. Importers generally need a Certificate of Analysis confirming pharmacopeial grade (e.g., USP or EP), an FDA facility registration for the foreign manufacturer, and may be subject to FDA import alert review. The value threshold of over $5/kg is also a classification condition that should be supported by the commercial invoice.
