Coconut oil is solid and white below about 24 °C and clear and liquid above it, which is normal and not a fault: buyers in warm and cool markets receive the same product in different states. Two grades are traded and they are not interchangeable. RBD (refined, bleached, deodorised) coconut oil is made from dried copra and is neutral, so it is used as a cooking and manufacturing fat. Virgin coconut oil is extracted from fresh coconut meat without chemical refining and keeps the smell and taste of coconut, so it is used where that flavour is wanted.
| Type | Vegetable fat — refined (RBD) and virgin |

| Grades | Refined (RBD) coconut oil; Virgin coconut oil |

Cooking with heat
RBD coconut oil is the grade used where the fat is heated, because refining removes the components that make virgin oil break down sooner; virgin coconut oil is normally used at gentler heat or where its aroma is the point. Heat tolerance depends on grade and lot, so use the specification supplied.
Smoke point is not published here as a single figure. It varies with refinement, free fatty acid content, filtration and how often an oil has been used, so the figure that matters is the one on the specification for the lot supplied.

On the standard: The standard covers coconut oil generally. “Virgin coconut oil” is defined by trade and national standards describing extraction from fresh coconut meat without chemical refining.
HS note: Crude coconut oil is 1513.11.
The 6-digit HS subheading is internationally harmonised; confirm the full national tariff line with your customs broker. Container loading is calculated once carton dimensions, gross weights, the pallet pattern and the applicable payload limit are known — it is not estimated from the pack size alone.
Points to note when ordering
- State the grade on the order: RBD and virgin coconut oil are different products with different prices and uses.
- Because the product melts and re-sets in transit, the packaging must suit the destination climate — jars and pails behave differently from bottles.
