3403.19Lower: 15.8% vs 25%

If classified primarily as lubricants with significant additive content

Lubricating preparations with less emphasis on petroleum base move to Chapter 34 for lubes

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify hydrocarbon composition via lab analysis to confirm no single compound exceeds 50% by weight for proper classification

Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and flash point certifications in documentation to avoid misclassification as flammable liquids

Check for REACH compliance if sourced from EU; common pitfall is incorrect viscosity grading leading to wrong subheading
