Rendered pig fat other than lard is traded commercially in three distinct US tariff grades: Choice White Grease (1501200040), Yellow Grease (1501200060), and other rendered pig fat (1501200080) — each reflecting different purity and free-fatty-acid specifications that matter to buyers in the oleochemical, animal feed, and biodiesel sectors. Brazil leads US import supply, followed by Canada and Mexico, making USMCA origin documentation a routine compliance consideration for North American shipments. Importers should note that rendered animal fats of porcine origin entering for food use require USDA FSIS oversight from an approved foreign establishment. Grade specification and end-use declaration at entry are critical because the three tariff lines are not interchangeable.

The US schedule separates them by grade: Choice White Grease is classified under 1501200040 and Yellow Grease under 1501200060, with residual rendered pig fat falling to 1501200080. The grade is typically established by free-fatty-acid content and color specifications documented in the commercial invoice and lab analysis accompanying the shipment.
Rendered porcine fat intended for human food use must originate from a USDA FSIS-approved foreign establishment and is subject to reinspection at the US port of entry. Fat destined solely for industrial or feed use follows a different admissibility pathway; importers should confirm the intended end-use declaration with a licensed customs broker before entry. Classification and admissibility are complex — consult a licensed customs broker or USDA FSIS for guidance specific to your shipment.
