Frequently Asked Questions

How do non-tallow ruminant fats under 150290 differ from tallow classified under 150210?

Heading 150210 covers tallow specifically — the rendered fat meeting standard tallow specifications — while 150290 captures other fats of bovine, sheep, or goat origin that do not meet the tallow definition, such as certain crude or minimally processed fats. The distinction matters for both tariff treatment and end-use documentation.

Are there any FSIS requirements for importing non-tallow ruminant fats intended for food use?

Yes. Fats of bovine, sheep, or goat origin destined for human food use must come from a USDA FSIS-approved foreign establishment and are subject to reinspection at the US port of entry. Consult a licensed customs broker or FSIS directly to confirm admissibility requirements for your specific product and intended use.
