2710.19.30.30 - Turbine lubricating oil, including marine

This HTS classification, HTS Code 2710.19.30.30, specifically covers turbine lubricating oils. This includes those designed for use in all types of turbines, such as steam turbines, gas turbines, and wind turbines. A significant subset of this category also encompasses marine lubricating oils, which are formulated to meet the demanding requirements of marine engines and machinery operating in saltwater environments. These oils are crucial for reducing friction, wear, and heat in high-speed rotating equipment.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, HTS Code 2710.19.30.30 focuses on turbine and marine applications, whereas other related codes like 2710.19.30.10 cover aviation engine lubricating oils, and 2710.19.30.20 specifically addresses automotive, diesel, or general marine engine lubricating oils that are not exclusively for turbines. While there is overlap with marine engine lubricants, this code is specifically for turbine-based systems.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under this code is determined by the intended application and formulation of the oil as a lubricant for turbines or marine machinery. The oils classified here are typically refined petroleum distillates or synthetic base stocks blended with additives to enhance properties such as viscosity, thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and anti-wear characteristics, specifically tailored for the operational demands of turbine systems.
