Import Tips
• Verify base oil content exceeds 70% by weight via lab analysis to confirm classification under 2710.19
• Provide manufacturer's specification sheets documenting fatty acid salt levels below 10%
• Avoid misclassification as soap-based greases by distinguishing synthetic thickeners from animal/vegetable origins
