Last updated: August 2026 dataSynthetic and bio-based lubricating preparations for textile, leather, and furskin treatment that contain no petroleum or bituminous mineral oils occupy a distinct classification from their petroleum-based counterparts, reflecting both chemical composition and growing industry interest in non-petroleum process chemistries. The US schedule separates textile-treatment preparations (3403911000) from those used on leather, furskins, and other materials (3403915000). Japan leads US import supply under this heading, with Germany and the Netherlands also prominent — a supplier profile consistent with advanced specialty chemical manufacturing. Formulators and importers should document the absence of petroleum-derived oils explicitly, as customs may query the distinction from heading 340311.

A manufacturer's certificate of composition or a safety data sheet (SDS) identifying all base oils and their chemical origins is typically the most effective supporting document. If the preparation uses synthetic esters, vegetable oils, or polyglycols as the lubricating base, that should be explicitly stated to distinguish the product from petroleum-based preparations under 340311.
Yes, if a formulation is modified to incorporate even minor amounts of petroleum-derived oils, it may cross into heading 340311. Importers sourcing from contract manufacturers should request batch-level composition certificates to ensure consistent classification, particularly when suppliers reformulate products.
