Case Description
This case describes the requirements for the importation of animal-derived, highly processed tallow derivatives for all end uses (excluding stockfeed) and goods containing highly processed tallow derivatives (with or without plant extracts/oils) as the only ingredients of biological origin. Highly processed tallow derivatives, such as glycerol, fatty acids, stearates and salts, are processed using trans-esterification or hydrolysis at 200°C for at least 20 minutes under pressure or saponification with 12M sodium hydroxide (95°C for at least 3 hours for batch processing or 140°C under pressure for at least 8 minutes for continuous processing). Importers seeking to bring tallow derivatives into Australia to be fed to stock animals including ruminants, poultry, pigs, horses, aquatic animals and bees should consult the case ‘Stockfeed, stockfeed ingredients and stockfeed additives’.
