Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If vegetable waxes are intermixed during processing
Material composition shift to vegetable-fatty industrial waxes changes chapter classification.
If post-centrifugation or basic separation
Any derivation beyond raw crude form falls into the other fatty substances subheading.
If as wool grease foots from washing
Soap-stocks and foots explicitly excluded by chapter note to heading 1522.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the scouring method to distinguish from refined lanolin alcohols or esters
• Check for organic certification if claimed, per General Statistical Note 6, to qualify for preferences
• Prevent delays by pre-clearing with binding rulings on crude vs. derived status

Crude Wool Grease Extract
Crude wool grease extract is the unrefined fatty substance obtained directly from sheep's wool during the scouring process, containing lanolin and impurities. It falls under HTS 1505.00.10.00 as crude wool grease, prior to any refining or purification steps. This greasy byproduct is valued for its lanolin content used in cosmetics and leather treatments.
Raw Lanolin Wool Grease
Raw lanolin wool grease is the crude, unprocessed fatty wax separated from wool fibers in the washing process, rich in cholesterol and esters. Classified under HTS 1505.00.10.00 specifically for its crude state before deodorizing or decolorizing. It's a key raw material for pharmaceuticals and skincare emulsions.
Unrefined Sheep Wool Scouring Grease
Unrefined sheep wool scouring grease is the sticky, crude fatty emulsion recovered from washing raw sheep wool, loaded with natural waxes. It matches HTS 1505.00.10.00 as the primary crude form of wool grease before separation into lanolin. Commonly imported for further extraction in leather and textile industries.
Bulk Crude Wool Degreasing Byproduct
Bulk crude wool degreasing byproduct is the raw, yellowish grease collected from solvent or emulsion wool cleaning operations. Classified in HTS 1505.00.10.00 for its unrefined state as wool grease. Ideal for bulk import to refineries producing pharmaceutical-grade lanolin.
Industrial Crude Wool Grease Pellets
Industrial crude wool grease pellets are crudely formed chunks of wool scouring grease for easier bulk handling, still unrefined. They qualify under HTS 1505.00.10.00 as the crude form without purification. Primarily imported for lanolin recovery in cosmetics manufacturing.
