Animal fats and oils and their fractions; whether or not refined, but not chemically modified, n.e.c. in chapter 15

HS v2022 Code: 1506

About animal fats and oils and their fractions; whether or not refined, but not chemically modified, n.e.c. in chapter 15

HS code 1506 covers a diverse range of animal fats and oils that are not chemically modified. These products play a crucial role in various industries, from food processing to industrial applications. As a significant component of the broader animal products sector, the trade and production of these fats and oils contribute to the global economy and support the livelihoods of many individuals and communities worldwide.

Production process

The production of animal fats and oils under HS code 1506 typically involves rendering, a process where the fatty tissues of animals are heated and the fat is extracted. This process may include steps such as grinding, cooking, and centrifugation to separate the fat from other components. The resulting fats and oils can then be further refined, bleached, and deodorized to meet specific quality and purity requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of animal fats and oils under HS code 1506 include the raw animal materials, such as tallow, lard, and other fatty tissues. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment and machinery for the rendering and refining processes, as well as energy sources, water, and various chemicals for the purification and treatment of the final products.

Production outputs

The animal fats and oils produced under HS code 1506 have a wide range of applications. They can be used in the food industry as ingredients in cooking oils, margarine, and other food products. Additionally, these fats and oils are utilized in the production of soaps, lubricants, and various industrial chemicals. Other HS codes that may consume the outputs of this industry include 1501 (Pig fat (including lard) and poultry fat, other than that of heading 0209 or 1503), 1502 Fats of bovine animals, sheep or goats, other than those of heading 1503, and 1503 Lard stearin, lard oil, oleostearin, oleo-oil and tallow oil, not emulsified or mixed or otherwise prepared, among others.
