Back Fat Lard from Canada
Back fat lard is rendered from the layer of fat on the hog's back, producing a firm, versatile cooking fat used in frying and soap-making. It solidifies at room temperature. This fits HTS 1501.10.00.00 as standard rendered lard from hog sources.

• Ensure no poultry fat contamination, as that would require heading 1501.30 classification
• Test for purity; adulterated lard risks penalties or reclassification under mixtures
