An immersion \(x:M^n\to\mathbb R^{n+1}\) from a \(n\)-dimensional smooth manifold \(M\) into the \((n+1)\)-dimensional affine space \(\mathbb R^{n+1}\) is said to be centroaffine if the position vector for each point in \(M\) is transversal to the tangent space. It is known that a centroaffine hypersurface immersion is uniquely determined, up to a centroaffine transformation, by its centroaffine metric and its cubic form. In this paper, the authors study locally strongly convex centroaffine hypersurfaces with parallel cubic form with respect to the Levi-Civita connection of the centroaffine metric. By constructing a typical basis of the tangent space for centroaffine hypersurfaces with parallel cubic form, they prove that such hypersurfaces is divided into \((n+1)\) cases depending on the decomposition of the tangent space into three orthogonal distributions. By characterizing the so-called Calabi product construction of centroaffine hypersurfaces, they finally obtain a complete classification of such centroaffine hypersurfaces.
