About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS category, 2710.19.30.20, specifically encompasses lubricating oils formulated for automotive, diesel, and marine engines. These oils are designed to reduce friction and wear within these types of engines, thereby prolonging their operational life and efficiency. The classification is based on the intended application of the oil, distinguishing it from other types of lubricating oils.

It is crucial to differentiate these engine oils from sibling categories. For instance, while 2710.19.30.10 covers lubricating oils for aviation engines, and 2710.19.30.30 pertains to turbine lubricating oil (including marine turbine oil), this category is exclusively for oils used in the reciprocating engines of cars, trucks, and vessels. Similarly, it is distinct from automotive gear oils (2710.19.30.40), which are designed for gearboxes and differentials, and quenching or cutting oils (2710.19.30.70) used in metalworking processes.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 2710.19.30.20 relies on confirming that the product is indeed a lubricating oil intended for the specified engine types, and not for aviation turbines, gear systems, or metalworking fluids. The specific formulation and additive packages, as well as the stated purpose on product packaging and technical data sheets, are key determinators for accurate classification.
