U.S. imports of refined soybean oil & its fractions (SITC 42119) totaled $16.1M in July 2026, traded with 11 countries.
Last updated: July 2026 dataRefined soybean oil — bleached, deodorized, and often further processed into fractions such as soybean stearin or soybean olein — is a staple cooking and food-manufacturing ingredient as well as a feedstock for industrial applications including inks and coatings. The refining process distinguishes this heading from crude soybean oil and typically results in a product with a neutral flavor profile and extended shelf life suited to retail and food-service channels. Importers should be aware that refined soybean oil destined for food use is subject to FDA labeling and admissibility requirements, and that origin-specific Section 301 measures may apply depending on the supplying country.

Fractions are products obtained by physically separating refined soybean oil into components with different melting points — typically a solid fraction (soybean stearin) and a liquid fraction (soybean olein) — through controlled crystallization and filtration. These fractions remain classified here as long as they have not been chemically modified. Hydrogenated soybean oil, by contrast, is chemically modified and classified in a different heading.
Food-grade refined soybean oil must be accompanied by documentation establishing it is fit for human consumption, including a certificate of analysis and, where applicable, a prior notice filing with FDA under the Bioterrorism Act. The importing facility should also be registered with FDA if it is a food facility. Admissibility is complex; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-regulated importer of record for guidance specific to your shipment.
