PBB-Contaminated Cutting Oil Waste from Japan
PBB-contaminated cutting oil waste is a waste oil derived from machining and grinding operations, containing petroleum-based oils mixed with polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) flame retardant residues. It falls under tariff item 2710.91.00 because it is a waste oil containing PBBs, as defined in Chapter 27 Note 3, and is no longer fit for its original use as a cutting fluid.

Import Tips
• Ensure the waste oil is properly classified as waste under Chapter 27 Note 3, and document that it contains PBBs
• Verify PCB levels are below 50 mg/kg to avoid additional regulatory requirements
• Consult the CBSA for import permits, as waste oils may be subject to environmental controls
