Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2710.19.45Lower: 25% vs 30.8%

If general greases exceeding fatty acid salt limits

Higher fatty acid content places it in broader grease categories without the 10% restriction.

8414.90Lower: 12.5% vs 30.8%

If imported pre-filled in machinery parts

Grease in completed machines or parts classifies with the equipment, not separately.

3824.99Lower: 17.5% vs 30.8%

If contains chemical additives dominating over petroleum base

Preparations where chemicals exceed 30% of composition fall under Chapter 38.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Submit thickener composition analysis confirming aluminum complex over fatty acid soaps

• Label containers clearly as 'industrial grease' to prevent retail preparation reclassification

• Monitor for drop point and consistency specs matching grease tariff definition
