Unrendered poultry fat — covering chicken, turkey, duck, and other avian species — enters the US almost exclusively from Canada, reflecting the tightly integrated North American poultry processing industry under USMCA. Classified under tariff line 0209900000, this heading captures raw poultry fat in all preservation states short of rendering, distinguishing it from rendered poultry fats classified in Chapter 15. The product is used in food manufacturing, pet food production, and specialty cooking applications. USDA FSIS inspection requirements apply to all imported poultry fat as a poultry product.

The dividing line is rendering or extraction. Poultry fat that has been melted down or otherwise extracted from tissue — such as commercially rendered chicken fat or duck fat — is classified under HTS Chapter 15 (heading 1501 or 1505 area). HTS 020990 applies only to fat that remains in its natural, unrendered state, regardless of whether it has been salted, frozen, or smoked.
Canadian poultry fat must originate from a CFIA-certified establishment that holds current FSIS approval for export to the United States. Shipments require a Canadian government health certificate and are subject to FSIS reinspection at a designated US port of entry. Importers should confirm the establishment's current approval status with FSIS prior to shipment. Consult a licensed customs broker for current documentation requirements.
