Preparations for the treatment of textile materials, leather, furskins or other materials

Preparations for oil or grease treatment of textiles, leather, or furskins

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 3403 91 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Lubricating preparations within the same Chapter 34 heading that contain 70% or more by weight of petroleum oils are classified under a distinct tariff line and may carry different compliance considerations.

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

The critical classification boundary within heading 3403 is petroleum-oil content: preparations exceeding 70% by weight of petroleum oils or oils from bituminous minerals fall outside this tariff line entirely. A customs re-classification on examination — prompted by product data sheets disclosing base-oil composition — can trigger retrospective compliance and detention. Importers should retain supplier formulation documentation confirming base-constituent percentages before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 3403 91 00 require any pre-import registration?
A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.
What changes if the preparation contains 70% or more petroleum oils by weight?
Preparations meeting that threshold are excluded from this tariff line and are classified under a separate line within Chapter 34, which may attract distinct customs treatment and compliance requirements.
