Food-Grade Coconut Oil Fraction
Food-grade coconut oil fraction is a purified lauric acid-rich portion from coconut oil, used in confectionery and pharmaceuticals. Under HTS 1513.19.00.90 as a non-chemically modified fraction of copra oil. Physical fractionation qualifies it here.

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.
