Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If tallow biodiesel with ≥70% petroleum diesel blend
High petroleum content in mixtures changes statistical reporting within biodiesel category.
If unprocessed fats of bovine animals before esterification
Rendered animal fats imported as such remain in Chapter 15 as industrial fats.
If used as chemical feedstock for oleochemicals, not fuel
Non-fuel applications classify as other chemical preparations excluding biodiesel.

Import Tips & Compliance
• File FDA Prior Notice for animal-derived products and ensure BSE-free certification from origin country
• Test cloud point and pour point for cold weather performance; pitfall is high saturates causing gelling
• Include rendering facility audits in documentation to prove compliance with biofuel feedstock regs
