Last updated: April 2026 dataGreasy shorn wool — raw fleece in its natural lanolin-bearing state, taken directly from live sheep — is the primary raw-material input for the global wool processing chain, and its US tariff lines are structured around fiber fineness measured in the Bradford spinning count (S) system. The six 10-digit lines under this heading range from coarser grades (not finer than 40S) through the finest merino-type clips (finer than 58S), with a separate line for special-use coarser wool. New Zealand and Australia dominate US supply, reflecting their large merino and crossbred flocks and well-established export infrastructure. Fineness grade must be verified by laboratory measurement or supplier certification, as it directly determines the applicable tariff line.

Fineness is expressed in Bradford spinning counts (S), with higher numbers indicating finer fiber. CBP may require laboratory testing (such as IWTO or ASTM methods measuring mean fiber diameter) or accept a supplier's certified test report. The count thresholds — 40S, 44S, 46S, and 58S — are the breakpoints that separate the six 10-digit lines, so accurate measurement is essential to avoid misclassification.
Yes — the heading explicitly covers wool that is 'greasy, including fleece-washed.' Fleece washing removes surface vegetable matter and some lanolin but does not constitute full scouring or degreasing; such product remains classifiable here. Wool that has been fully scoured (degreased) would instead fall under headings 510121 or 510129.
