Heading 0209 covers fat that has not been rendered — meaning it has not been melted and processed to separate the pure fat from tissue. Rendered pig fat (lard) and rendered poultry fat are classified in Chapter 15 under the fats and oils headings. The distinction matters for both tariff classification and FSIS inspection protocols, as rendered fats are treated differently from fresh or preserved unrendered fat.
Pig and poultry fat can be imported fresh, chilled, frozen, salted, in brine, dried, or smoked and still remain classified under heading 0209, provided the fat has not been rendered. These preservation methods are explicitly enumerated in the heading description and do not constitute further processing sufficient to move the product to a different chapter.
