Import Tips
• Submit detailed formulation breakdown to CBP, highlighting petroleum oil >70% to secure this classification
• Avoid mislabeling as 'lubricating oil'; greases must have soap/aluminum complex thickeners per trade rulings
• Check for REACH compliance if from EU; mismatched chemical certs lead to holds
