Last updated: September 2026 dataThe residual animal fat and oil heading captures rendered or raw fats from species not covered by the more specific headings — including insects, reptiles, and other non-bovine, non-porcine, non-poultry sources — all consolidated under a single US tariff line (1506000000). Australia and Norway lead US import supply, followed by New Zealand, France, and China, a diverse supplier mix that reflects the breadth of animal species and processing methods captured here. Because the heading is a catch-all, correct classification requires confirming that the product does not belong to a more specific heading (150110–150500), making a thorough species and processing-method review essential before entry.

Heading 150600 is a residual category covering animal fats and oils not specifically provided for elsewhere in Chapter 15. In practice, this can include fats from horses, rabbits, insects, or other species not enumerated in headings 1501–1505, as well as mixed-species rendered fats that do not fit a more specific description. Importers should work through the Chapter 15 classification hierarchy systematically before defaulting to this heading.
Admissibility depends on the source species and intended use. Fats from food-animal species intended for human consumption may require USDA FSIS oversight, while fats from non-food animals or for industrial use follow different pathways. USDA APHIS may also have jurisdiction over certain raw animal-origin materials. Because the heading covers a wide range of products, importers should confirm the applicable regulatory pathway with a licensed customs broker or the relevant agency before shipment.
