Subheading 510121 · $527K of $692K
Importers of Degreased, Non-Carbonized Shorn Wool, Not Carded or Combed paid $65K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $527K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Degreased, Non-Carbonized Shorn Wool, Not Carded or Combed imports of $527K in July 2026 ran 14% below the year-to-date monthly average of $616K.
Scouring removes lanolin and most vegetable matter from shorn fleece, producing degreased (scoured) wool that is lighter, cleaner, and more suitable for direct spinning or top-making than greasy clips. This heading's nine 10-digit lines apply the same Bradford-count framework as the greasy headings, but add a further split between wool that has received no processing beyond degreasing (5101216500) and wool that has been further processed short of carbonizing or carding (5101217000). New Zealand leads US imports, with the United Kingdom and Australia also significant sources. The absence of carbonization is a key classification criterion: wool treated with acid to destroy vegetable matter falls instead under heading 510130.

Carbonization — the acid treatment that destroys embedded vegetable matter — is the dividing line. Wool that has been scoured (degreased) but not carbonized stays in 510121 regardless of how thoroughly it has been washed. Once carbonization is applied, the product moves to heading 510130, even if it has also been scoured.
Most lines in 510121 are organized by Bradford spinning count. Lines 5101216500 and 5101217000 instead capture wool by processing level: 5101216500 covers unimproved shorn wool not finer than 46S that has been degreased but not processed beyond that point, while 5101217000 is a broader residual for degreased shorn wool that has been further processed (e.g., carbonized vegetable matter removed by mechanical means) but still not carded or combed. Importers should document the exact processing steps to support classification in these lines.
