Import Tips
• Confirm the lard is not mixed with any other fats or oils, as blends may shift classification
• Keep records of the rendering process to demonstrate it is not fresh pig fat
• Check if the lard qualifies for duty-free entry under the Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) rate or a preferential trade agreement
