HTS CHAPTER

Chapter 15: Animal or Vegetable Fats

HTS Chapter 15 encompasses a diverse range of animal and vegetable fats and oils, including prepared edible fats essential for various food applications. This chapter features key product categories such as cooking oils, margarine, lard, and fatty acids derived from both animal and plant sources. Common examples include olive oil, palm oil, butter, and tallow, which are integral to the food and beverage industry, as well as cosmetics and personal care sectors. Importers in these industries must navigate specific regulatory considerations, such as compliance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) standards, particularly regarding food safety and labeling. Additionally, tariffs and trade agreements can impact import costs and availability, making it crucial for business owners to stay informed about any changes in trade policies. By understanding the nuances of HTS Chapter 15, importers can better manage their supply chains and ensure compliance, ultimately enhancing their market competitiveness.
