Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If fermented from fungal sources like Rhizomucor
Fungal rennets are not 'rennet' per tariff definition and fall under microbial enzymes.
If diluted below concentrate strength for lab use
Non-concentrated preparations are chemical products, not qualifying as tariff-defined rennet concentrates.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include lot-specific enzyme strength (e.g
• IMCU/g) in documentation to verify concentration standards
• Label clearly as 'animal-derived' to distinguish from vegetarian alternatives during customs review
• Check for BSE compliance certificates if from EU sources, as rennet is an animal product
