Beef tallow that has been partly or wholly hydrogenated, inter-esterified, re-esterified, or elaidinized, and refined but not further prepared, falls under this tariff item. It is an animal fat fraction modified to enhance stability for cooking and food processing. This item covers such chemically altered animal fats that have not undergone additional preparation beyond refining.

Import Tips
• Ensure the tallow is not further prepared beyond refining or chemical modification, as additional processing may change classification
• Provide a certificate of origin if claiming preferential duty under a free trade agreement
• Declare the exact modification process (e.g
• hydrogenation) to the CBSA to support the tariff classification
