MCT oil (C8/C10).

HS pending binding ruling C8:C10 at 60:40 · 70:30 · 80:20 · Coconut-sourced

Fractionated and re-esterified medium-chain triglycerides from coconut oil. We publish the full carbon distribution and the CoA limits — and we deliberately do not publish an HS code, for the reason set out below.

01 — Specifications

The carbon cut is the product.

Buyers specify MCT by the C8:C10 ratio, not by a trade name. Everything below is from a 60:40 certificate of analysis; 70:30 and 80:20 shift the C8 and C10 bands accordingly.

C8 (caprylic): 55–65%
C10 (capric): 35–45%
C6 · C12 · C14: ≤ 2% · ≤ 3% · ≤ 1%
Acid value: ≤ 0.1 mg KOH/g (typ. 0.02)
Peroxide value: ≤ 1.0 meq/kg (typ. 0.1)
Saponification: 325–350 mg KOH/g (typ. 330)
Moisture: ≤ 0.15%
Colour: APHA ≤ 30
Feedstock: Coconut — declared on every CoA
HS code: Pending a binding ruling — see note

⚠ Why no HS code: heading 1513 covers coconut oil "not chemically modified", and re-esterified MCT is chemically modified, so it falls outside that heading. 1516.20 is the likely landing zone but we have not confirmed it. We will not print a code on your invoice that we cannot defend — obtain a BTI ruling in the EU or a CBP ruling in the US, and we will invoice to it.

02 — Cuts

Three cuts, three markets.

Standard

C8:C10 60:40

The reference cut and the one most CoAs in the trade are written against. Best cost per litre.

C855–65%

C1035–45%

Best forFood & general

Premium

C8:C10 70:30

Higher caprylic fraction for keto and sports-nutrition positioning, where C8 is the label claim.

C8≈ 70%

C10≈ 30%

Best forNutraceutical

Specialty

C8:C10 80:20

Highest caprylic cut. Smaller volumes, longer lead time, and priced accordingly — ask before you build a launch around it.

C8≈ 80%

C10≈ 20%

⚠ Ask every MCT supplier which oil the C8 and C10 came from. Much of the world's MCT is palm-kernel derived and sold without saying so — which matters for EUDR exposure and for a coconut label claim. Our CoA states the feedstock.

Buyer questions

Why will you not give an HS code?

Because the honest answer is that it is unsettled. Heading 1513 is explicitly limited to oils not chemically modified, and re-esterification is a chemical modification. 1516.20 is the probable line. Get a BTI or CBP binding ruling and we will invoice to it — a wrong code on a first shipment is far more expensive than the ruling.

Is your MCT coconut or palm kernel?

Coconut, and we state the feedstock on the certificate of analysis. This is worth checking with any supplier: the two feedstocks give a similar carbon profile but a very different compliance and labelling position.

Can you match a specific C8:C10 ratio?

The three standard cuts are 60:40, 70:30 and 80:20. Anything between them is a fractionation run rather than a stock item — send the target and the volume and we will confirm feasibility and lead time.

How big is the MCT market?

Roughly USD 763 million in 2021 growing to about USD 1,034 million in 2026, a 6.3% CAGR. That is a specification-chemical market, not a commodity one, which is why the CoA matters more than the price list.
