HS v2017 Code: 1501
About pig fat (including lard) and poultry fat, other than that of heading 0209 or 1503
HS code 1501 covers pig fat, including lard, and poultry fat, excluding the fat from certain other animal products. This industry is a crucial component of the broader agricultural and food processing sectors, providing essential raw materials for a range of downstream industries. The production and trade of these fats play a significant role in the global economy, with applications in the manufacture of various consumer goods, as well as in the animal feed and biofuel industries.
Production process
The production of pig fat and poultry fat typically involves the rendering or extraction of fat from the carcasses of slaughtered animals. This process often includes steps such as heating, pressing, and centrifugation to separate the fat from other tissue components. The resulting fat is then refined, filtered, and sometimes further processed to meet specific quality and purity standards for different applications.
Production inputs
The main inputs for the production of pig fat and poultry fat include the raw animal carcasses or fat trimmings from slaughterhouses and meat processing facilities. Additionally, the industry may require specialized equipment, such as rendering tanks, centrifuges, and filtration systems, as well as energy sources, water, and various chemicals for the refining and processing of the fats.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of HS code 1501 are the refined pig fat (including lard) and poultry fat, which are then used as ingredients or raw materials in a variety of downstream industries. These fats may be consumed directly as cooking oils or incorporated into products such as 1517 Margarine and edible mixtures or preparations of animal or vegetable fats or oils, 1516 Animal or vegetable fats and oils and their fractions, partly or wholly hydrogenated, inter-esterified, re-esterified or elaidinized, whether or not refined, but not further prepared, and 2304 Oilcake and other solid residues, whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of soybean oil.
