Import Tips
• Verify purity certificates and USP compliance documentation to avoid reclassification as crude wool grease
• Ensure supplier provides origin certificates, as wool grease derivatives may face country-specific restrictions
• Label shipments clearly as 'refined lanolin' to prevent customs confusion with animal fats in Chapter 15
