About heading 3403

Lubricating preparations (including cutting-oil preparations, bolt or nut release preparations, antirust or anticorrosion preparations and mold release preparations, based on lubricants) and preparations of a kind used for the oil or grease treatment of textile materials, leather, furskins or other materials, but excluding preparations containing, as basic constituents, 70 percent or more by weight of petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals

Heading 3403 covers lubricating preparations and related treatment preparations for textile materials, leather, furskins and other materials, plus cutting oils, release agents, antirust preparations and mold release preparations based on lubricants. It does not cover preparations containing 70% or more by weight of petroleum oils or oils from bituminous minerals. The heading splits first by whether petroleum oils are present, then by use for material treatment versus other uses, with a 50% petroleum oil threshold in some lines.
