Overview

This HTS category, 1504.20.20.00, specifically classifies cod-derived fats and oils, and their fractions, which are obtained from fish other than liver oils. These products can be in either a refined or unrefined state, but they must not have undergone any chemical modification. The primary material for this classification is derived directly from codfish.

This classification is distinct from its sibling categories. While all fall under the broader heading of fats and oils from fish, 1504.20.40.00 pertains specifically to herring-based products, and 1504.20.60 covers all other fish-derived fats and oils not otherwise specified. Therefore, the key differentiator for 1504.20.20.00 is its exclusive focus on cod as the source material.
