HTS heading 1507 is a four-digit product category for soybean oil and its fractions. It includes oil made from soybeans whether it is crude or refined, as long as it has not been chemically modified. A “fraction” is a separated part of the oil, such as a portion obtained through processing; it is not necessarily a different raw material.
To reach the correct eight-digit HTSUS code, start with heading 1507 and then read the available subheadings and statistical provisions. The narrower code generally depends on the oil’s type or condition—such as whether it is crude, refined, or another fraction—and the exact wording of the tariff schedule. Confirm that the product remains soybean oil and has not undergone chemical modification; products with different composition or processing may belong elsewhere.
What to check
- Review the product’s technical specification, including the source oil, fraction, and processing history.
- Determine whether the product is crude, refined, or another soybean-oil fraction using supplier or laboratory documentation.
- Check whether any chemical modification occurred; do not treat ordinary refining or purification as automatically equivalent to chemical modification.
- Read every subheading and statistical suffix under heading 1507 rather than choosing a code from the product name alone.
- Confirm the proposed code against current official HTSUS text and, when the processing or composition is unclear, obtain customs-broker or binding-ruling guidance.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
