Last updated: August 2026 dataPetroleum-derived lubricating preparations used in textile processing, leather finishing, and furskin treatment are classified here, with the US schedule distinguishing products by petroleum oil content — specifically whether petroleum oils constitute 50% or more by weight (3403112000 vs. 3403114000) — as well as a dedicated line for leather and furskin preparations (3403115000). The petroleum content threshold is a critical classification decision point, as misclassification between lines can affect duty liability. Canada leads US import supply, followed by the United Kingdom and Japan, reflecting the concentration of specialty chemical formulators in those markets. Importers should confirm whether the preparation's primary function is textile treatment or leather/furskin conditioning, as the US tariff schedule treats these end-uses in separate 10-digit lines.
