Last updated: April 2026 dataHydrogenation, interesterification, and similar chemical hardening processes define the products under this heading, which serve as functional fats in bakery shortenings, confectionery coatings, and processed food manufacturing. The US schedule breaks out rapeseed (canola) oil that has been hydrogenated but not further prepared (1516201000) separately from the broader residual category of other hydrogenated vegetable fats and oils (1516209100), with a third line (1516200100) covering the general heading. Indonesia and Malaysia are the dominant suppliers, reflecting their palm oil processing industries, while Mexico rounds out the top three. FDA oversight applies to these edible fat products, and importers should confirm that any partially hydrogenated oils comply with current food additive regulations governing trans-fat content.

The schedule carves out rapeseed (canola) oil that has been hydrogenated, oxidized, polymerized, or similarly modified but not further prepared into its own 10-digit line (1516201000), while all other hydrogenated vegetable fats and oils not elsewhere specified fall under 1516209100. Correct classification depends on the specific oil type and the degree of further processing.
Yes. FDA has determined that partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs) are no longer generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use as food ingredients. Importers must verify that any PHO-containing product has an applicable FDA enforcement discretion or complies with current food additive authorization, as non-compliant shipments may be refused entry.
