Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If marketed solely as hydraulic fluid
Hydraulic oils fall under specific subheading regardless of cutting use.
If containing less than 70% petroleum oils
Preparations with lower petroleum content classified by main function as lubricants.
If sold as general industrial lubricating oil
Other lubricating oils not specifically for quenching/cutting go to residual provision.
