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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If after any refining, bleaching, or purification
Only crude forms stay in 1505.00.10.00; processed wool grease derivatives move to the 'other' subheading.
If residue from wool grease processing like glycerol pitch
Chapter notes direct wool grease residues and pitches to heading 1522, excluding them from crude grease.
If merely denatured without full refining
Heading 1518 note specifies denatured fats remain in their original undenatured heading, but not for crude.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include wool scouring process documentation to prove crude status and avoid duties on refined lanolin
• Test for milk solids or other contaminants; ensure purity aligns with statistical notes to prevent reclassification
• Label shipments clearly as 'crude wool grease' and provide fatty acid profiles for CBP verification

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.
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.
