Lubricating preparations; (other than for the treatment of textile and similar materials), containing less than 70% (by weight) of petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals

HS v2017 Code: 340319

About lubricating preparations; (other than for the treatment of textile and similar materials), containing less than 70% (by weight) of petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals

HS code 340319 covers a range of lubricating preparations that contain less than 70% by weight of petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals. These lubricating products play a crucial role in various industries, ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of machinery, equipment, and vehicles. They are essential for reducing friction, wear, and tear, thereby extending the lifespan of components and improving overall system performance.

Production process

The production of lubricating preparations under HS code 340319 typically involves blending and formulating a combination of base oils, additives, and other components. The base oils, which can be derived from petroleum or synthetic sources, provide the primary lubricating properties. Additives, such as anti-wear agents, detergents, and viscosity modifiers, are then incorporated to enhance the lubricating performance, improve stability, and address specific application requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of lubricating preparations under HS code 340319 include base oils, which can be 2710 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, other than crude; preparations not elsewhere specified or included, containing by weight 70% or more of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the preparations; waste oils, various additives, and specialized manufacturing equipment. The specific formulation and composition of the lubricating preparations can vary depending on the intended application and performance requirements.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 340319 are lubricating preparations that find applications in a wide range of industries, including automotive, industrial machinery, and transportation. These lubricating products may be consumed by other industries, such as 8407 Spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines, 8408 (Compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines)), and 8409 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the engines of heading 8407 or 8408.
