Last updated: April 2026 dataA residual catch-all for animal-derived oils, fats, and fractions not specifically named elsewhere in the schedule — covering products such as rendered poultry fat, horse fat, and certain marine mammal oils that lack their own dedicated heading. The 'not chemically modified' condition is a hard classification boundary: hydrogenation, interesterification, or other chemical transformations move the product to a different chapter. Because this heading spans a wide range of animal sources, importers must be prepared to document the species of origin, as USDA FSIS or FDA oversight may apply depending on whether the source animal is a food species and the intended end use.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Rendered poultry fat, horse fat, and certain minor species fats (such as rabbit or game animal fat) typically fall here because the schedule reserves dedicated headings for bovine tallow, lard, fish oils, and a few others. Marine mammal oils not covered by specific headings may also land here, though CITES documentation requirements apply if the source species is listed.
Physical refining steps — such as degumming, bleaching, deodorizing, or fractionation by crystallization — do not constitute chemical modification and do not disqualify a product from this heading. Chemical modification, such as hydrogenation or transesterification, changes the molecular structure and would redirect classification to the appropriate chemically modified fat or fatty acid heading.
