Modified Lignite Wax Bars for Industrial Buffing from China

These are solid bars of chemically modified lignite wax formulated for buffing metal surfaces in manufacturing. They fall under tariff item 3404.90.20 as molded artificial wax pieces from lignite, and do not qualify as scouring powders due to lack of abrasive content.

Import Tips

• Verify the bars contain no abrasives to avoid reclassification under 3405

• Provide product specifications showing the lignite base for CBSA

• Ensure the bars are not mixed with other waxes that could change the tariff item
