Last updated: August 2026 dataRaw and processed wool from sheep is a foundational fiber input for apparel, carpet, and industrial textile manufacturers, traded globally in forms ranging from greasy fleece to combed tops. Live sheep imports fall under USDA APHIS jurisdiction, requiring health certification and potential quarantine, while wool fiber shipments clear through CBP with classification driven by processing stage and fiber diameter. Tariff-rate quota provisions apply to certain wool lines, making quota timing and fill rates a practical concern for importers sourcing in volume.

Wool classification under the HTS depends heavily on how far the fiber has been processed: greasy (raw) wool, degreased or scoured wool, carbonized wool, and combed wool tops each fall under different headings and may carry different duty rates. Importers should confirm the exact processing state with their supplier before filing entry documents.
Yes, certain wool products are subject to tariff-rate quotas, meaning a lower in-quota duty rate applies up to a specified volume threshold, with a higher over-quota rate applying to additional quantities. Quota fill levels and opening dates vary by product type, so importers should monitor CBP quota bulletins when planning large-volume shipments. Consult a licensed customs broker for current quota status and classification guidance.
