Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If untreated crude wool grease
Untreated wool grease or wool fats fall under heading 1505 as animal fats, not residues from treatment.
If chemically modified residue
Residues from industrial fatty acid production may classify under 1521 if they result from specific chemical processes rather than general treatment.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify origin documentation as animal-derived residues may require veterinary certificates or health inspections
• Avoid misclassification as undenatured wool grease under heading 1505; degras must show treatment residue characteristics
• Declare exact composition to prevent reclassification during customs exam; include lab analysis if available
