Industrial Bovine Grease from Japan

Industrial bovine grease is a low-grade grease derived from cattle fats, used primarily for machinery lubrication or in non-food industrial applications. It falls under tariff item 1502.90.00 as an 'other' fat of bovine animals, not covered by heading 15.03, and is not denatured in a way that would trigger heading 15.18.

Import Tips

• Confirm the grease is not merely denatured, as heading 15.18 does not cover denatured fats that remain classified under their original heading

• If the grease is for industrial use, ensure it is not a waste product falling under heading 15.22, such as soap-stocks or oil foots

• Keep detailed documentation on the source and processing to support the classification
