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

HS code 340311 covers a range of lubricating preparations used for the treatment of textile, leather, and similar materials. These products play a crucial role in the textile, leather, and manufacturing industries, ensuring the smooth operation of machinery and the preservation of materials. As a key component in various industrial processes, the 340311 classification is an important part of the broader import/export economy.

Production process

Lubricating preparations under HS code 340311 are typically produced through the blending and formulation of various base oils, additives, and other chemical components. The specific production techniques may vary depending on the intended use and performance requirements of the final product, but generally involve processes such as mixing, filtering, and packaging to ensure the desired viscosity, lubricity, and other properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 340311 lubricating preparations include base oils (such as mineral, synthetic, or vegetable oils), various additives (e.g., anti-wear agents, corrosion inhibitors, and viscosity modifiers), and specialized equipment for the blending and packaging of the final product. The availability and quality of these raw materials and production machinery are crucial to the industry's ability to meet the evolving needs of its customers.

Production outputs

Lubricating preparations under HS code 340311 are primarily used in the textile, leather, and similar industries for the treatment and maintenance of materials. The output of this industry may be consumed by manufacturers of 420300 Articles of leather; articles of composition leather, n.e.s.; articles of furskin, 500100 Silk-worm cocoons suitable for reeling, and 540700 Woven fabrics of man-made filament yarn, incl. woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading 5404, among others. The effective use of these lubricating preparations can help improve the performance, lifespan, and quality of the treated materials.
