U.S. imports of petroleum-based lubricating preparations (general use, nesoi) (HS 340319) totaled $15.2M in April 2026, traded with 30 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataGeneral-purpose lubricating preparations containing petroleum or bituminous mineral oils — not specifically formulated for textile, leather, or furskin treatment — fall under this heading, which serves a broad range of industrial and mechanical end-uses. The US schedule again applies a 50% by weight petroleum oil threshold to distinguish 3403191000 from 3403195000, making supplier-provided composition data a routine compliance requirement. Germany is the leading source of US imports under this heading, with Canada and France also significant suppliers, reflecting the strength of European specialty lubricant chemistry. Preparations that cross the petroleum content boundary between lines should be reviewed carefully, as the NESOI designation means any product not captured by the textile/leather heading defaults here.

Heading 340311 is reserved for preparations specifically intended for the treatment of textile materials, leather, furskins, or similar materials. Heading 340319 captures all other petroleum-containing lubricating preparations — essentially a catch-all for general industrial, mechanical, and other end-uses not covered by 340311.
The US tariff schedule under 340319 splits products at the 50% by weight threshold for petroleum or bituminous mineral oils: 3403191000 covers preparations at or above 50%, while 3403195000 covers those below. Importers should obtain certified composition data from the manufacturer to support the correct 10-digit classification and avoid potential customs queries.
