HS Code 340311

HS code 340311 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Lubricating preparations (including cuttingoil preparations, bolt or nut release preparations, antirust or anticorrosion preparations and mouldrelease 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 % or more by weight of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals : Containing petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals : Preparations for the treatment of textile materials, leather, furskins or other materials". The first two digits (34) are the chapter — Soap, washing preparations, lubricants, waxes, candles, modelling pastes — and digits 3-4 (3403) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 340311 include textile lubricant, leather oil, fabric softener, finishing oil, leather conditioner and similar items matching preparations for the treatment of textile materials. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (340311) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
