0209.10.00.00 - Of pigs 🖩

This HTS category, 0209.10.00.00, specifically covers pig fat that is free of lean meat, and poultry fat, not rendered or otherwise extracted. This includes these fats in their fresh, chilled, frozen, salted, in brine, dried, or smoked forms. The key characteristic for classification here is the origin of the fat (pig or poultry) and its state prior to rendering or extraction.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 0209.90.00.00, which is designated for "Other" fats. While 0209.10.00.00 is granular, specifying pig and poultry fat in its raw or minimally processed state, the "Other" category would encompass fats not meeting these precise definitions, potentially including those from other animal sources or fats that have undergone different forms of processing beyond what is described here.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 0209.10.00.00 hinges on confirming the animal source (pig or poultry) and ensuring the fat has not been rendered or extracted. The specific method of preservation, such as salting, drying, or freezing, does not create a distinction at this level, as all these states are encompassed by this code.
