Lard (150110) is specifically rendered fat from the fatty tissue of swine, typically meeting food-grade specifications. Other rendered pig fats — including choice white grease and yellow grease — fall under 150120 and are generally lower-grade or industrial-use products. The distinction matters for both duty treatment and FSIS inspection requirements.

USDA FSIS governs the importation of rendered animal fats from swine and poultry. Shipments must come from FSIS-eligible foreign countries and approved establishments, and are subject to reinspection at the port of entry. Importers should verify current country eligibility and ensure proper documentation before shipment.
