The spaces only make the code easier to read. Customs declarations normally use the unspaced form, 15159099.
This is the catch-all under 1515 90: it covers what the sibling codes below do not.
This is the remaining group of non-chemically modified vegetable fats and oils and their fractions that are not raw, not for technical or industrial use, not covered by a specifically named oil or fat, and do not belong in the solid-pack category with a net weight of <= 1 kg.
Compare the sibling codes at this level before you settle on this one.
Classification decides the rate here: from 0.0% to 9.6%.
Besides the ordinary duty, the EU records these kinds of measure against this code. They are listed as signals only: whether one applies to your goods can depend on where they come from, who produced them, the exact product and the documents you present. No amounts are worked out here.
Preferential rates exist for goods originating in San Marino; Economic Partnership Agreements; CARIFORUM except Haiti; Comoros (excluding Mayotte), Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles and dependencies and Zimbabwe; Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique and Namibia; Western Sahara; GSP-EBA (Special arrangement for the least-developed countries - Everything But Arms); OCTs (Overseas Countries and Territories); 46 more origins. Whether you can use one depends on the origin rules for the goods and on the documentation you can show.
