Coconut Oil Fraction MCT Oil
Medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil is a fractionated form of coconut oil, separating specific fatty acids for high-purity use in supplements and keto diets. It is classified under HTS 1513.19.00.90 as a fraction of coconut oil that is physically separated but not chemically modified. This covers purified fractions without hydrogenation.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the fraction is chemically interesterified
Chemical modification of fractions shifts classification to heading 1511 for modified vegetable oils.
If blended into food preparations
MCT oil mixed with flavors or vitamins becomes a food preparation under Chapter 21.
If distillation residues
Residues from fractionating coconut oil, like glycerol pitch, go to heading 1522 per chapter note.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit fractionation process details and GC-MS analysis to prove no chemical modification occurred
• Declare exact fatty acid composition on invoices to avoid disputes over 'fraction' status

Refined Coconut Oil
Refined coconut oil is derived from copra and processed to remove impurities and odor, resulting in a clear oil used primarily in cooking and baking. It falls under HTS 1513.19.00.90 as coconut (copra) oil that is refined but not chemically modified. This classification covers fractions thereof that are not chemically altered.
Virgin Coconut Oil
Virgin coconut oil is extracted from fresh coconut meat without refining or bleaching, retaining natural flavor and nutrients for use in skincare and health foods. Classified under HTS 1513.19.00.90 as unrefined coconut (copra) oil not chemically modified. It qualifies as a fraction of coconut oil in its natural state.
Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil
Cold-pressed coconut oil uses mechanical pressing without heat to preserve nutrients, used in raw food diets and cosmetics. Classified in HTS 1513.19.00.90 as unrefined coconut oil fraction not chemically modified. The mechanical extraction keeps it in this unmodified category.
Unrefined Copra Oil
Unrefined copra oil is crude oil pressed from dried coconut kernels, retaining natural impurities for soap-making bases. Classified under HTS 1513.19.00.90 as other coconut oil not chemically modified. It represents the base form before any refining.
Coconut Lauric Oil
Coconut lauric oil is a high-lauric fraction from coconut oil distillation, valued for antimicrobial properties in supplements. Under HTS 1513.19.00.90 as an unmodified fraction of copra oil. Distillation is physical separation.
Bleached Coconut Oil
Bleached coconut oil uses natural earth to remove color, resulting in pale oil for cosmetics, still physically refined. Classified HTS 1513.19.00.90 as non-chemically modified coconut oil. Bleaching is a permitted physical process.
