U.S. exports of Preparations for Treating Textiles, Leather & Furskins Containing Petroleum Oils (Under 70%) (SITC 59771) totaled $3.0M in August 2026.
Importers of Preparations for Treating Textiles, Leather & Furskins Containing Petroleum Oils (Under 70%) paid $30K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 4.00% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Preparations for Treating Textiles, Leather & Furskins Containing Petroleum Oils (Under 70%) imports of $758K in August 2026 ran 45% above the year-to-date monthly average of $522K.
Last updated: August 2026 dataFormulated finishing agents, softeners, and surface-treatment preparations used in textile mills and leather tanneries fall under SITC 59771 when their petroleum or bituminous mineral oil content is below 70% by weight. These products serve as process chemicals in manufacturing — applied during fiber lubrication, leather fat-liquoring, or furskin conditioning — and their classification hinges on both the petroleum content threshold and the intended substrate (textile vs. leather vs. other material). Specialty chemical suppliers to the apparel and footwear manufacturing supply chain are the primary traders in this category.

The key factor is the declared end use: preparations specifically formulated and marketed for treating textiles, leather, or furskins — such as fiber spin finishes, leather fat-liquors, or furskin conditioners — belong here, while general-purpose lubricating preparations go to a different heading. Technical data sheets and product labeling indicating the specific substrate application are the primary documentation for supporting this classification.
The threshold applies to the finished preparation as imported — the total petroleum or bituminous mineral oil content by weight of the blended product. If a formulation contains multiple oil types, the combined petroleum-derived fraction must be measured against the 70% ceiling. Laboratory analysis or supplier certification of the finished blend composition is the standard method for confirming classification.
