SITCSection 4
U.S. imports of lard, rendered pig fat, and rendered poultry fat (SITC 41120) totaled $4.7M in July 2026, traded with 4 countries.
Last updated: July 2026 dataRendered lard and poultry fat — produced by heat-processing pig or poultry adipose tissue, whether by pressing or solvent extraction — are widely used in food manufacturing, bakery applications, and animal feed formulation. USDA FSIS exercises jurisdiction over imported rendered fats derived from swine and poultry, requiring that shipments originate from FSIS-eligible foreign establishments and undergo port-of-entry reinspection. Edible-grade lard must also meet FDA labeling standards when sold for human consumption, and importers should confirm whether a shipment is destined for edible or inedible (industrial or feed) use, as this affects both the applicable regulatory pathway and tariff classification.

Edible-grade lard intended for human consumption must come from an FSIS-approved foreign establishment and pass FSIS reinspection at the US port of entry. Inedible rendered fat destined for animal feed or industrial use may follow a different regulatory pathway, though APHIS and FDA feed-safety rules may still apply. Declaring the correct intended use at entry is critical to avoid misclassification.
Under this SITC heading, both pressing and solvent extraction methods are explicitly included, so the extraction method alone does not change the classification. However, if solvent extraction leaves residual solvent above permitted thresholds, the product may face additional FDA or food-safety scrutiny for edible applications.
