Sourcing this category from India

HS 1501.20 covers Pig fat; not lard, other than that of heading 0209 or 1503. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. India is the dominant world supplier of castor oil and a significant exporter of processed vegetable oils and oleochemicals.

How to read this code

1501.20 is the six-digit HS subheading for pig fat. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many animal, vegetable & microbial fats & oils lines — check our import guides for your market.
