Miscellaneous Crude Animal Products, Inedible

NATO Supply Class 9430 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 94, which is dedicated to Nonmetallic Crude Materials. Specifically, Class 9430 focuses on Miscellaneous Crude Animal Products that are inedible.

Crude animal products refer to materials derived from animals that have not undergone any significant processing or refinement. These products are typically obtained from animals for various purposes, such as industrial or agricultural applications, rather than for human consumption.

Examples of miscellaneous crude animal products, inedible, that fall under Class 9430 include:

1. Animal fats: These are fats obtained from animals, such as tallow or lard, which can be used in the production of soaps, candles, lubricants, and other industrial applications.

2. Animal oils: These are oils derived from animals, such as fish oil or whale oil, which can be used in the production of paints, varnishes, and other industrial products.

3. Animal waxes: These are waxes obtained from animals, such as beeswax or lanolin, which can be used in the production of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other applications.

4. Animal hides and skins: These are the raw hides and skins of animals, such as cowhide or sheepskin, which can be processed further to produce leather for various purposes, including upholstery, footwear, and clothing.

It is important to note that Class 9430 specifically focuses on inedible animal products. Edible animal products, such as meat or dairy, would fall under different supply classes within NATO's classification system.

By categorizing these miscellaneous crude animal products under Class 9430, NATO ensures efficient management and logistics support for these materials within military operations and other relevant contexts.
