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

HS v2022 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 various sectors such as food processing, cosmetics, and lubricants. As a key component in the livestock industry, the production and trade of these fats play a significant role in the broader agricultural and manufacturing economies.

Production process

The production of fats covered under HS code 1502 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 centrifugation to separate the fat from other components. The specific techniques used can vary depending on the source animal, the desired quality and purity of the final product, and the scale of production.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 1502 fats include the raw materials, namely the tissues and fat deposits from bovine animals, sheep, or goats. Additionally, specialized equipment such as rendering tanks, presses, and centrifuges may be necessary to extract and refine the fats. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also crucial for powering the production processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 1502 is the refined or unrefined animal fats, which can be further classified into subcategories based on factors such as the source animal, the degree of processing, and the intended use. These fats may be consumed directly as food ingredients or used as inputs in the manufacturing of 1517 Margarine and edible mixtures or preparations of animal or vegetable fats or oils, 3823 Industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids; acid oils from refining; industrial fatty alcohols, and other related products.
