Pig fat (including lard) and poultry fat, other than that of heading 0209 or 1503

HS v2022 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 fats classified under codes 0209 Pig fat, free of lean meat, and poultry fat, not rendered or otherwise extracted and 1503 Lard stearin, lard oil, oleostearin, oleo-oil and tallow oil, not emulsified or mixed or otherwise prepared. This industry plays a crucial role in the global food supply chain, providing essential ingredients for a wide range of food products, as well as industrial applications.

Production process

The production of pig fat and poultry fat typically involves rendering, a process where the fat is extracted from the animal tissues through the application of heat and pressure. This process separates the fat from the protein-rich components, resulting in a pure, refined fat product. The rendered fat may then undergo further processing, such as filtering and deodorizing, to meet specific quality and purity standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of pig fat and poultry fat include the raw animal tissues, such as skin, fat, and organs, as well as energy sources (e.g., electricity, natural gas) for the rendering process. Specialized rendering equipment, including cookers, centrifuges, and filtration systems, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 1501 are refined pig fat (including lard) and poultry fat, which are used as ingredients in a variety of food products, such as baked goods, fried foods, and processed meats. These fats may also find applications in the production of 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, 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, 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.
