Product description1513.11.10

VIRGIN COCONUT OIL

DẦU DỪA NGUYÊN CHẤT

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is the natural oil obtained by mechanical extraction from fresh, mature kernel of the coconut.

There are two main methods of producing virgin coconut oil:

1. “Dry process”. In this method, the grated fresh coconut meat is dried first, then the oil is pressed out of the dried coconut meat, followed by settling and filtration of the extracted oil. This method allows for easier mass production of virgin coconut oil.

2. "Wet process". In this method, the “coconut milk” is extracted from grated fresh coconut meat without drying the meat first. The oil is then further separated from the water. Methods which can be used to separate the oil from the water include boiling, fermentation, refrigeration, enzymes and mechanical centrifuge.

Virgin coconut oil is commonly used as a moisturizer for skin and hair and for human consumption.

Tiếng Việt

Dầu dừa nguyên chất (VCO) là dầu tự nhiên thu được bằng cách chiết xuất cơ học từ cùi dừa già còn tươi.

Có 2 phương pháp chính sản xuất dầu dừa nguyên chất:

1. “Quy trình sản xuất khô”. Theo phương pháp này, cơm dừa (cùi dừa) tươi đã nạo được làm khô trước, sau đó ép cơm dừa khô lấy dầu, tiếp theo để lắng và lọc dầu vừa chiết xuất được. Phương pháp này cho phép sản xuất dầu dừa nguyên chất với khối lượng lớn dễ dàng hơn.

2. “Quy trình sản xuất ướt”. Theo phương pháp này, “sữa dừa” được chiết xuất từ cơm dừa tươi đã nạo không qua bước đầu làm khô. Dầu dừa sau đó được tách ra khỏi nước thêm. Các phương pháp được dùng để tách dầu từ nước gồm đun sôi, làm lên men, làm lạnh, enzymes và ly tâm cơ học.

Dầu dừa nguyên chất thường được dùng để dưỡng ẩm da và tóc và dùng cho người.

2025: as reported by partner countries

Vietnam has not filed 2025 yet, so this is rebuilt from what its 16 largest trading partners reported about trade with Vietnam (85% of Vietnam's trade). Not the same measure as the figures above — compare it only with the 2023 row beside it.

Flow20232025Change
Exports2 mn USD8 mn USD+298%
Imports27,705 USD900 USD-97%
  • Exports 2023: partners reported 2 mn USD where Vietnam reported 21 mn USD — 0.10× on this measure.
  • Imports 2023: partners reported 27,705 USD where Vietnam reported 28,276 USD — 0.98× on this measure.

The gap is not a rounding difference: goods re-exported through Hong Kong or Singapore, a different heading chosen by the importing customs, and origin-based versus destination-based attribution all pull the two measures apart. Use the year-on-year change, not the level.

Corresponding US tariff lines

Six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention, so 1513.11 is the same subheading in both schedules. What differs is how each country splits it: below are the 1 US line under 1513.11.

These are added to the General duty above, not in place of it. Whether a given article falls inside their scope — and the exclusion lists — is set out in the U.S. notes to Chapter 99, which are prose and not machine-readable, so this site does not assign them per code.

Selling to a US buyer? Screen the parties first — buyer, L/C bank and forwarder against the US restricted lists; a listed party can get the shipment held.

Corresponding Japanese tariff lines

1513.11 is the same subheading in both schedules (six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention). Vietnamese goods can enter Japan under four parallel preference routes — the columns below — and the exporter picks whichever C/O gives the better rate.
