THE COMMODITY
II.What Avocado oil is, and what H-α does with it
Avocado oil is a high-value edible oil pressed from the fruit pulp rather than a seed, so it is a fresh-fruit derivative and its cost follows the avocado crop rather than an oilseed complex. Mexico, Peru, Kenya, South Africa, Chile and New Zealand carry the export trade. The commercial split is extra-virgin cold-pressed for food against refined for food service and cosmetics, and it is the split buyers argue about, because adulteration with cheaper oils is the standing quality risk in this trade.
What the subscription does with it
The subscription reads the declared record on the oil's own HS heading, keeps the counterparty book of pressers, refiners and importers, and states the price basis exactly as the registry defines it. Where the anchor available for this commodity is a customs unit value rather than an assessed price, the platform says so on every figure derived from it, and nothing from it is presented as a quotable price.
The registry’s note on the headings this subscription reads:
AVOCADO OIL HAS NO DEDICATED HS6 — it rides HS 1515.90, 'other fixed vegetable fats and oils ... other', alongside walnut, grapeseed, argan, rice bran and hemp. Confirmed against CBP ruling NY R03312. An aggregate 1515.90 unit value is close to meaningless; the only defensible read constrains by REPORTER to avocado-dominated exporters (NZ, MX, PE, CL, KE, ZA) and says so on every figure.
151590 other fixed vegetable fats and oils — AVOCADO OIL HAS NO DEDICATED HS6 AND RIDES THIS BASKET
The registry’s caveat on the price anchor:
US Government work (17 U.S.C. 105). The API terms require attribution and prohibit implying Census endorsement; they do not restrict redistribution. Terms: https://www.census.gov/data/developers/about/terms-of-service.html
