Import Tips
• 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
