Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If high mineral oil content ≥70%
Predominantly petroleum-based transmission fluids are classified in heading 2710.
If anti-freezing preparations rather than hydraulic
If primarily for freeze protection without transmission function, moves to 3820.
If industrial lubricant without transmission use
Non-hydraulic lubes go to Chapter 34 lubricants.
