Pulled wool and other non-shorn greasy fleece — recovered from slaughtered animals or obtained by methods other than shearing — classifies under this residual greasy-wool heading rather than 510111. Italy leads US imports, a reflection of its role as a wool-processing hub that re-exports raw fiber, followed by New Zealand and Turkey. Like its shorn counterpart, the heading's 10-digit lines are organized by Bradford spinning count, with breakpoints at 40S, 44S, and 58S, plus a special-use line for coarser grades.

The distinction is the method of removal from the animal. Shorn wool is clipped from live sheep; 'other' greasy wool includes pulled wool removed from pelts of slaughtered animals and any other non-shorn raw fleece. Documentation from the supplier identifying the source and removal method is the primary basis for choosing between the two headings.
Italy is a major wool-processing and trading hub; Italian merchants and processors frequently re-export raw or minimally processed wool sourced from Southern Hemisphere producers. The country of origin for customs purposes is the country where the wool was last substantially transformed — if Italy has only sorted or repackaged the fiber without processing it beyond the greasy state, origin may still be attributed to Italy under applicable rules.
