Degras; residues resulting from the treatment of fatty substances or animal or vegetable waxes

HS v2022 Code: 1522

About degras; residues resulting from the treatment of fatty substances or animal or vegetable waxes

HS code 1522 covers a range of residues and by-products generated during the processing of fatty substances, animal waxes, and vegetable waxes. These materials play a crucial role in various industries, serving as valuable inputs for further processing and utilization. The degras and other residues encompassed by this code contribute to the efficient and sustainable use of natural resources, making them an integral part of the broader economy.

Production process

The production of the materials covered under HS code 1522 typically involves the treatment and processing of fatty substances, animal waxes, and vegetable waxes. This may include processes such as extraction, refining, and purification, which aim to separate the desired components and remove impurities. The specific techniques employed can vary depending on the nature of the raw materials and the intended applications of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the materials under HS code 1522 include various fatty substances, animal waxes, and vegetable waxes. These raw materials can be sourced from a range of industries, such as 1501 Lard; other pig fat and poultry fat, rendered, whether or not pressed or solvent-extracted, 1502 Fats of bovine animals, sheep or goats, raw or rendered, whether or not pressed or solvent-extracted, and 1515 (Other fixed vegetable fats and oils (including jojoba oil) and their fractions, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified). Additionally, specialized equipment and processing facilities may be required to handle and transform these inputs into the desired degras and residues.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the industry covered by HS code 1522 are the degras and residues resulting from the treatment of fatty substances or animal and vegetable waxes. These materials can be further processed or utilized in a variety of applications, such as the production of 2710 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, other than crude; preparations not elsewhere specified or included, containing by weight 70% or more of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the preparations; waste oils, 3404 Artificial waxes and prepared waxes, and 3823 Industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids; acid oils from refining; industrial fatty alcohols.
