Poultry fat; other than that of heading 0209 or 1503

HS code 150190 covers poultry fat, excluding that of heading 0209 or 1503. This type of fat is an important commodity in the global food industry, with applications ranging from cooking and baking to the production of various consumer goods. As a by-product of poultry processing, the availability and trade of poultry fat play a significant role in the broader agricultural and food supply chains.

Poultry fat is typically extracted during the rendering process, where the fat is separated from the other components of poultry carcasses. This process involves heating the raw material to high temperatures, which causes the fat to melt and separate from the protein-rich solids. The extracted fat is then further refined and processed to meet the specific requirements of its intended use.

The main inputs for the production of poultry fat under HS code 150190 are raw poultry carcasses and trimmings. These materials are sourced from poultry processing facilities, where they are generated as a by-product of meat production. Additionally, the rendering process requires specialized equipment, such as rendering tanks, centrifuges, and filtration systems, to efficiently extract and purify the fat.
