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.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

1522.00.00.00Lower: 21.3% vs 35%

If it's wool grease dregs or stearin pitch

Chapter explicitly places wool grease residues, dregs, and pitches in 1522, not with crude grease.

1502Lower: 10% vs 35%

If containing significant cows' milk fats

Statistical note defines kg cmsc for milk solids; mixed animal fats may classify under other edible fat headings.

1505.00.90.00Higher: 37.4% vs 35%

If for fatty substances derived but processed beyond crude

Hierarchy distinguishes crude wool grease from derived, non-crude substances in the same heading.

Import Tips & Compliance

Submit evidence of direct wool scouring origin; refined or solvent-extracted versions require different HTS

Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no pre-shipment deodorization, which could shift to 1505.00.90.00

Use ISF filings early and include moisture content specs to match statistical kg cmsc exclusions

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.

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.
