Lignite Wax Paste for Leather Finishing from Mexico

This is a thick paste made from chemically modified lignite wax blended with resins and fillers, used in leather processing to impart shine and protection. It falls under tariff item 3404.90.20 as a chemically modified lignite wax product, provided the resins and fillers do not change its fundamental waxy character.

Import Tips

• Document the lignite wax content to justify classification under 3404.90.20

• If the paste contains solvents, check if it might be classified elsewhere

• Ensure the product is not a polish preparation, which could fall under 3405
