Lithium Complex Grease
A high-performance lithium complex grease containing over 70% petroleum oils as the base, used for heavy-duty industrial lubrication in bearings and gears. It falls under HTS 2710.19.40.00 as a grease with petroleum oils as the basic constituent, not elsewhere specified. The 'other' category covers this non-specific formulation beyond basic types.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in a form suitable for retail sale in packaging under 1 kg
Retail-packed lubricating greases fall under the consumer goods subheading rather than bulk industrial 'other' greases.
If the grease is primarily a lubricating preparation not predominantly petroleum-based
Preparations with less than 70% petroleum oils are classified under Chapter 34 for lubricants and anti-friction products.
If classified as a liquid lubricating oil rather than solid/ semi-solid grease
Liquid oils go to 'other' oils subheading, distinguished by physical state (NLGI grade 0 vs grease grades 1-6).

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the petroleum oil content exceeds 70% by weight via lab testing to confirm classification under 2710.19.40.00
• Include safety data sheets (SDS) and technical specs showing it's a grease, not a liquid oil, to avoid reclassification
• Watch for additives; if over 30% non-petroleum, it may shift to another subheading—common pitfall in audits
