Lard Oil
Lard oil is the liquid fraction separated from rendered pork lard through chilling and fractionation, rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Classified under HTS 1503.00.00.00 because it is a direct derivative of lard not subjected to emulsification or mixing. It is widely used as a lubricant in industrial applications and in food processing.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If refined or processed for use as a lubricating oil
Highly refined animal oils used primarily as lubricants are classified as petroleum oils or similar in Chapter 27.
If not fractionated and imported as whole rendered lard
Unfractionated pig fats and poultry fats fall under 1501, while separated stearin/oil go to 1503.
If derived from soap-stocks, foots, or dregs of lard processing
Residues like soap-stocks from lard refining are specifically directed to heading 1522 by chapter notes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Label clearly as 'not for human consumption' if intended for industrial use to prevent reclassification as edible animal fats
• Include lab tests showing no emulsifiers or additives to confirm it remains unprepared per Chapter 15 notes
• Check for restrictions on animal product imports; obtain veterinary health certificates to clear customs efficiently
