Lubricating preparations not containing 70% or more petroleum oils

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 3403 19 00 (Other lubricating preparations — not containing 70% or more by weight of petroleum oils or oils from bituminous minerals) 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 whose petroleum oil content meets or exceeds 70% by weight are classified under a distinct tariff line within Chapter 34 that may carry separate compliance considerations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: customs examination of petroleum oil content may trigger re-classification to the higher-petroleum-content line within Chapter 34, with retrospective duty and compliance consequences. Preparations intended for textile treatment, leather dressing, or furskin processing may also attract separate scrutiny depending on end-use declarations. Importers should document oil-content analysis and intended end-use before filing the bill of entry.

Preparations meeting that threshold are classified under a separate tariff line within Chapter 34 and may attract distinct compliance and duty treatment, triggered by re-classification on customs examination.
