Last updated: April 2026 dataCrude soybean oil, whether or not degummed, is one of the most heavily traded vegetable oils in global commodity markets, serving as the primary feedstock for both edible oil refining and biodiesel production in the United States. Degumming — the removal of phosphatides — is a common first-stage processing step that does not change the oil's classification as crude. Imports of crude soybean oil from certain origins have been subject to Section 301 tariff measures, making origin documentation and country-of-origin verification a critical compliance step for US buyers.

No. Degumming — removing phospholipids (lecithin) from the crude oil — is considered a preliminary processing step that does not advance the oil to 'refined' status for classification purposes. Both degummed and non-degummed crude soybean oil remain in the same heading. The transition to a refined classification occurs only after bleaching, deodorizing, or other full-refining steps.
Crude soybean oil from certain origins has been subject to Section 301 tariff measures. Importers should verify the current status of any applicable trade-remedy orders for their specific country of origin before contracting, as these measures can significantly affect landed cost.
