U.S. imports of vegetable waxes (other than triglycerides) (HS 152110) totaled $2.7M in April 2026, traded with 17 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataCarnauba wax (1521100040) and candelilla wax (1521100020) are the commercially dominant products under this heading, prized for their hardness, high melting points, and natural origin in cosmetics, food coatings, pharmaceuticals, and polishes. Brazil is the overwhelmingly dominant supplier of carnauba wax, which is harvested exclusively from the leaves of the Copernicia prunifera palm native to northeastern Brazil; Mexico is the primary source of candelilla wax, derived from the Euphorbia antisyphilitica shrub. The NESOI line (1521100060) captures other botanical waxes such as rice bran wax and jojoba wax. For food-contact and cosmetic applications, FDA and relevant industry specifications govern acceptable purity and processing standards.

The US schedule provides dedicated lines: 1521100020 for candelilla wax and 1521100040 for carnauba wax, with 1521100060 covering all other vegetable waxes not otherwise specified. Importers must identify the botanical source of the wax on entry documentation to ensure correct line-level classification, as the lines may carry different statistical reporting requirements.
For food-contact applications, carnauba wax must meet FDA specifications under 21 CFR 184.1978 (GRAS). Importers should obtain a certificate of analysis from the exporter confirming purity, absence of prohibited adulterants, and compliance with applicable food or cosmetic grade standards. A licensed customs broker familiar with FDA-regulated ingredients can assist with prior notice and admissibility requirements.
