Preparations for the treatment of textile materials, leather, furskins or other materials
Oil or grease treatment preparations for textiles, leather, and furskins
HSN 3403 11 00 (preparations for the oil or grease treatment of textile materials, leather, furskins, or other materials) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Lubricating preparations within Chapter 34 that contain 70% or more by weight of petroleum oils or oils from bituminous minerals are classified under a distinct tariff line and may attract different compliance considerations.
The defining exclusion at this tariff line — preparations with 70% or more petroleum-derived oil content — means that a product re-characterised on customs examination as petroleum-based will shift to a separate tariff line, triggering retrospective duty and potential detention. Importers should obtain a precise formulation declaration from the supplier confirming the base-oil composition and intended substrate before relying on this line's absence of compliance. Chapter 34 contains several closely related lubricating-preparation lines, and misclassification risk is elevated where formulations are multi-functional.
