Importers of Lubricating Preparations for Textiles, Leather & Furskins (Petroleum-Based) paid $28K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 11% on $245K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 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.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.

Preparations at or above that threshold fall under 3403112000, while those below 50% fall under 3403114000. Accurate lab analysis or supplier documentation of oil content is essential to avoid misclassification.
