Used Compressor Oil Waste from China

With a synthetic or mineral petroleum lubricating base exceeding 70% by weight, it qualifies as waste oil under tariff item 2710.99.00. This product is classified as waste oil because it contains mainly petroleum oils and is no longer fit for its original purpose.
