1505.00
Wool grease and fatty substances derived therefrom (including lanolin)
Analysis
Subheading 1505.00 covers wool grease and fatty substances derived therefrom (including lanolin), within heading 1505. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
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.
The US splits it as follows: 1505.00.10 for wool grease, crude (1.3¢/kg) and 1505.00.90 for wool grease and fatty substances derived therefrom (including… (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.
