More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for consumer automotive retail sales
Retail lubes/anti-seize without technical graphite specs fall under general preparations.
If petroleum grease base dominant
If petroleum content primary, classifies as lubricating grease not graphite prep.

Our AI classifier can analyze your specific product and recommend the correct HTS code with confidence.
Import Tips & Compliance
ā¢ Lab test for graphite concentration; must specify in invoice to differentiate from general anti-seize under 3403
ā¢ Package in industrial quantities; retail packaging risks consumer goods classification
ā¢ Include end-use statements for industrial applications to prevent tariff shifts
