Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for aerosol-dispensed retail versions under 1 kg
Retail aerosol greases are separated into consumer subheadings from bulk industrial shipments.
If prepared from synthetic lubricants rather than petroleum

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide manufacturer's certification of petroleum content and NLGI consistency grade to prove it's a grease under this code
• Ensure no biodiesel content, as those greases shift to 2710.19.20; test blends if source is unclear
• Label containers with flash point and viscosity data to comply with DOT hazmat regs during import
