Last updated: July 2026 dataDegras — the byproduct recovered from wool-scouring liquors — and residues from the processing of fatty substances or animal and vegetable waxes are niche industrial commodities used primarily in leather dressing, lubricant formulation, and specialty chemical manufacturing. Their classification hinges on origin as a processing residue rather than a refined fat or finished wax, making accurate supplier documentation essential. Trade volumes are modest compared to primary fats and oils, but these materials serve as cost-effective functional inputs in sectors where their emulsifying or lubricating properties are valued.

Degras is a greasy residue recovered from the scouring of raw wool, composed largely of lanolin-related compounds mixed with fatty acids and soaps. It is used primarily as a leather-softening and dressing agent, and in some lubricant and rust-preventive formulations. It should not be confused with refined lanolin, which is a more purified derivative classified separately.
Because these residues are byproducts rather than intentionally manufactured goods, suppliers should provide a process description or certificate of analysis confirming the material's origin as a residue from fatty substance or wax treatment. Without this documentation, customs authorities may reclassify the shipment as a refined fat, oil, or wax, potentially altering the applicable duty rate.
