Poultry fat; other than that of heading 0209 or 1503

HS code 150190 covers poultry fat, excluding that of heading 0209 (pig fat, including lard) or 1503 (lard stearin, lard oil, oleostearin, oleo-oil, and tallow oil). Poultry fat is an important byproduct of the poultry industry, with a wide range of applications in the food, cosmetic, and industrial sectors. It plays a crucial role in the broader agricultural and manufacturing economy.

Poultry fat is typically extracted from the carcasses of chickens, turkeys, and other poultry during the slaughtering and processing stages. The fat is separated from the meat and other tissues, often through rendering or other extraction methods. The resulting poultry fat is then refined, filtered, and processed to meet the specific requirements of its intended use.

The main inputs for the production of poultry fat under HS code 150190 include live poultry, processing equipment (e.g., rendering tanks, filters, and centrifuges), and energy sources for the extraction and refining processes. Additionally, the industry relies on a robust supply chain of poultry producers, slaughterhouses, and distribution networks to ensure a steady flow of raw materials.

The primary output of HS code 150190 is refined poultry fat, which can be used in a variety of applications. This includes use as a cooking oil, ingredient in processed foods, and as a raw material for the production of 382400 Soap, organic surface-active products and preparations for use as soap, 340600 Candles, tapers and the like, and other 340590 (Polishes and creams, for footwear, furniture, floors, coachwork, glass or metal, scouring pastes and powders and similar preparations (excluding prepared waxes of heading 3404)) products.
