About fats and oils and their fractions; of marine mammals

HS code 150430 covers the trade of fats and oils derived from marine mammals, such as whales, seals, and walruses. This industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of industries, including food processing, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The demand for these specialized fats and oils continues to grow, driven by their unique properties and applications.

Production process

The production of fats and oils from marine mammals typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as blubber or other fatty tissues, are harvested from the animals. These raw materials are then transported to processing facilities, where they undergo rendering or extraction processes to separate the desired fats and oils from the other components. The extracted fats and oils may undergo further refining, bleaching, or deodorizing steps to meet specific quality and purity requirements.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of fats and oils from marine mammals are the raw materials themselves, which are obtained through the hunting or harvesting of whales, seals, and other marine mammals. In addition to the raw materials, this industry requires specialized equipment and machinery for the extraction, processing, and refining of the fats and oils. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary for the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The main outputs of HS code 150430 are the fats and oils derived from marine mammals, which can be further classified into various sub-categories based on their specific properties and applications. These fats and oils may be used as ingredients in 150410 Oils and their fractions, of fish, other than liver oils, 150420 Fats and oils and their fractions, of fish, other than liver oils, or 151610 Animal fats and oils and their fractions, partly or wholly hydrogenated, inter-esterified, re-esterified or elaidinized, whether or not refined, but not further prepared, among other related codes.
