Import Tips
• Provide a declaration or certificate confirming end-use in rubber substitutes or lubricating oil manufacture to qualify for this classification
• Maintain records of oil's use in approved manufacturing processes for CBP audits; failure to use as declared may trigger duty reassessment
• Verify oil is truly crude (unrefined) via lab analysis to avoid misclassification into refined categories
