Fats and oils and their fractions of fish or marine mammals; whether or not refined, but not chemically modified
HS v2022 Code: 1504
About fats and oils and their fractions of fish or marine mammals; whether or not refined, but not chemically modified
HS code 1504 covers a diverse range of fats and oils derived from fish and marine mammals. These products play a vital role in various industries, including food processing, pharmaceuticals, and personal care. As a significant component of the global oils and fats trade, the 1504 industry contributes to the broader economy by providing essential raw materials for a wide range of downstream applications.
Production process
The production of fats and oils under HS code 1504 typically involves a series of extraction and refining processes. Raw materials, such as fish or marine mammal tissues, are first processed to separate the desired lipids from other components. This can be done through mechanical pressing, solvent extraction, or a combination of both. The extracted oils may then undergo further refining steps, such as degumming, bleaching, and deodorization, to improve their quality and purity.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for the 1504 industry are the raw materials, which include various species of fish and marine mammals. Depending on the specific product, the industry may also require specialized equipment for extraction, processing, and refining. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of supporting services, such as transportation, storage, and quality control.
Production outputs
The main outputs of the 1504 industry are refined and unrefined fats and oils derived from fish and marine mammals. These products are widely used in the food industry, where they serve as ingredients in a variety of processed foods, such as 1517 Margarine and similar preparations, 1516 Animal or vegetable fats and oils and their fractions, partly or wholly hydrogenated, inter-esterified, re-esterified or elaidinised, 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. Additionally, these oils are used in the production of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and other industrial applications.
