HS v2017 Code: 1503

About lard stearin, lard oil, oleostearin, oleo-oil and tallow oil; not emulsified or mixed or otherwise prepared

HS code 1503 covers a range of animal-derived oils and fats that are commonly used in various industries, including food processing, cosmetics, and lubricants. These products, which include lard stearin, lard oil, oleostearin, oleo-oil, and tallow oil, play a crucial role in the global economy, providing essential raw materials for a wide array of consumer and industrial applications.

Production process

The production of the goods classified under HS code 1503 typically involves the extraction and refinement of animal fats and oils. This process often begins with the rendering of animal tissues, such as fat and suet, to separate the desired oils and fats. The extracted oils may then undergo further processing, such as hydrogenation or fractionation, to produce the specific products within this code.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 1503 are animal-derived raw materials, such as fat, suet, and tallow. Additionally, specialized equipment for rendering, refining, and processing the oils and fats is necessary. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also important inputs for the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The outputs of the industry covered by HS code 1503 include a range of animal-derived oils and fats that are used in various applications. These products may be consumed by other industries, such as 1517 Margarine; edible mixtures or preparations of animal or vegetable fats or oils or of fractions of different fats or oils of this chapter, other than edible fats or oils or their fractions of heading 1516, 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 1518 Animal or vegetable fats and oils and their fractions, boiled, oxidized, dehydrated, sulphurized, blown, polymerized by heat in vacuum or in inert gas or otherwise chemically modified, excluding those of heading 1516; inedible mixtures or preparations of animal or vegetable fats or oils or of fractions of different fats or oils of this chapter, not elsewhere specified or included.
