Analysis
Heading 1505 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers wool grease and fatty substances derived therefrom (including lanolin). It has 2 tariff lines.
None of its 2 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 2.4% to 2.4% with a median of 2.4%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
Its lines are 1505.00.10 for wool grease, crude (1.3¢/kg) and 1505.00.90 for wool grease and fatty substances derived therefrom… (2.4%).
1 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Fiber, Yarn, and Thread Mills (313110) and All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing (325199). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
Its median rate of 2.4% sits at the 53rd percentile of the headings in chapter 15.
