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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If processed into soap-stocks, foots, or residues
Chapter note excludes soap-stocks, oil foots, dregs, and similar residues from heading 1518, directing them to 1522.
If derived from wool grease but not crude
Refined or further processed fatty substances from wool grease fall under the residual subheading for non-crude forms.
If chemically modified or esterified
Substantial transformation through chemical processing changes it from crude grease to industrial fatty substances in Chapter 15.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the product is unrefined and directly from wool scouring to confirm crude classification; refined versions shift to other codes
• Provide certificates of origin and lab analysis showing wool-derived fatty content to avoid misclassification as animal fats
• Watch for contamination with other waxes; ensure documentation specifies 'crude wool grease' to prevent reclassification

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.
Crude Lanolin-Rich Wool Wax
Crude lanolin-rich wool wax is the unpurified greasy secretion harvested from sheep fleece during industrial scouring. It is precisely covered by HTS 1505.00.10.00 as crude wool grease, the starting material for anhydrous lanolin production. Used in ointments, rust preventives, and ballistics grease.
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.
