Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

1502Lower: 10% vs 17.5%

If imported as mixed tallow without separation

Whole or unseparated tallow remains in 1502; only distinctly separated oils/stearins go to 1503.

1516.20Higher: 17.7% vs 17.5%

If hydrogenated or otherwise modified for food use

Hydrogenated vegetable or animal oils for food are in Chapter 15 headings like 1516, not crude fractions.

1522.00.00.00Higher: 21.3% vs 17.5%

If from degras or wool grease residues mixed with tallow

Chapter notes place wool grease residues and similar in 1522, separate from pure tallow fractions.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Provide melting point and fatty acid profile analysis to prove fractionation without preparation

β€’ Ensure segregation from emulsified products during shipping to maintain 1503 classification

β€’ Be aware of BSE-related import bans; source from approved countries with export certificates

Lard Stearin

Lard stearin is the solid fraction obtained from the fractionation of rendered pork lard, consisting primarily of saturated fatty acids like stearic and palmitic acids. It falls under HTS 1503.00.00.00 as it is a rendered pig fat derivative that has not been emulsified, mixed, or otherwise chemically prepared. This product is commonly used in food manufacturing for shortenings and confectionery.

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.

Oleostearin

Oleostearin is the solid stearine fraction obtained from beef tallow through a fractionation process, high in saturated fats. It is classified in HTS 1503.00.00.00 as tallow oil derivatives that are neither emulsified nor mixed. Primarily used in soap making, candles, and as a food additive for texture.

Tallow Oil

Tallow oil refers to the fluid fraction derived from rendered bovine or sheep fat through pressing or fractionation. Classified under HTS 1503.00.00.00 as it is not emulsified or prepared further. Used in biofuels, cosmetics, and as a base for oleochemicals.

Premier Jus Tallow Oil

Premier jus is a high-grade, first-press tallow oil from beef fat rendering, prized for purity. It is included in HTS 1503.00.00.00 as an unprepared tallow derivative. Ideal for premium shortenings and pharmaceutical bases.

Technical Tallow Stearin

Technical tallow stearin is industrial-grade solid from beef tallow for non-food uses like rubber processing. Classified HTS 1503.00.00.00 as non-emulsified tallow derivative. Cost-effective for manufacturing additives.
