Fats of bovine animals, sheep or goats, other than those of heading 1503

HS v2017 Code: 1502

About fats of bovine animals, sheep or goats, other than those of heading 1503

HS code 1502 covers the fats of bovine animals, sheep, or goats, excluding those classified under heading 1503. These animal fats are an important commodity in the global food and industrial supply chains, finding applications in a wide range of products. As a key raw material, the trade and production of HS 1502 fats play a significant role in the broader agricultural and manufacturing sectors.

Production process

The production of HS 1502 fats typically involves the rendering or extraction of fat from the tissues of bovine animals, sheep, or goats. This process may include steps such as heating, pressing, or chemical extraction to separate the fat from other components of the animal tissue. The specific techniques used can vary depending on the intended end-use of the fat, with different methods employed for food-grade versus industrial-grade products.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of HS 1502 fats are the raw animal tissues, typically sourced from cattle, sheep, or goats. In addition to the animal materials, the production process may also require various equipment and machinery, such as rendering tanks, presses, and separation equipment. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the HS 1502 industry are the refined and processed animal fats, which can be used in a variety of applications. These fats may be further processed and incorporated into 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, or other food and industrial products. The industry's outputs may also be used as inputs for the production of 1503 Lard stearin, lard oil, oleostearin, oleo-oil and tallow oil, not emulsified or mixed or otherwise prepared, another related HS code.
