Animal fats and oils and their fractions; whether or not refined, but not chemically modified, n.e.c. in chapter 15
HS v2017 Code: 1506
About animal fats and oils and their fractions; whether or not refined, but not chemically modified, n.e.c. in chapter 15
HS code 1506 covers a diverse range of animal fats and oils that are not chemically modified. These products play a crucial role in various industries, from food processing to industrial applications. As a significant component of the broader animal products sector, the 1506 industry contributes to the global economy by providing essential raw materials and supporting a wide range of downstream activities.
Production process
The production of animal fats and oils under HS code 1506 typically involves rendering, refining, and fractionation processes. Rendering involves the extraction of fats and oils from animal tissues, often through the application of heat and mechanical pressure. Refining processes, such as degumming, neutralization, and deodorization, are then used to improve the quality and purity of the extracted fats and oils. Fractionation techniques, including crystallization and centrifugation, may be employed to separate the fats and oils into their individual components, allowing for the production of more specialized products.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the 1506 industry include various animal tissues, such as fat, bone, and offal, obtained from livestock and poultry production. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment and machinery for the rendering, refining, and fractionation processes. Energy sources, such as electricity and fuel, are also essential for the operation of these production facilities.
Production outputs
The 1506 industry produces a wide range of animal fats and oils, including tallow, lard, and various specialty oils. These outputs are used as raw materials in numerous industries, such as the 1517 Margarine; edible mixtures or preparations of animal or vegetable fats or oils or of fractions of different fats or oils of this chapter, n.e.c. and 2304 Oilcake and other solid residues, whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of soybean oil industries. Additionally, the 1506 products may be further processed or blended to create specialized lubricants, cosmetics, and other industrial applications.
