Containing 50 percent or more by weight of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals

HTS code 3403.11.20.00 classifies imports of: Containing 50 percent or more by weight of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals. This line sits within Chapter 34 (Soap, organic surface-active agents, washing preparations, lubricating preparations, artificial waxes, prepared waxes, polishing or scouring preparations, candles and similar articles, modelling pastes, dental waxes and dental preparations with a basis of plaster), Section VI (Products of the Chemical or Allied Industries), and is catalogued as a tariff line in the USITC 2026 Basic Edition. Duty is calculated against units of quantity: liters. A footnote applies to this classification: See 9903.88.03.

The general (MFN / Column 1 General) rate for HTS 3403.11.20.00 is 0.2%, which applies to most trading partners of the United States. A special preferential rate of "Free (A+,AU,BH,CL,CO,D,E,IL, JO,KR,MA,OM,P, PA,PE,S,SG)" may reduce or eliminate duty when goods qualify under a free trade agreement such as USMCA, CAFTA-DR, or one of the bilateral FTAs. The Column 2 rate of 0.4% applies to imports from non-MFN countries such as Cuba and North Korea, a much higher historical "full" tariff.

Footnotes: See 9903.88.03. Beyond the published rate, importers should check for Section 201 safeguards, Section 301 China tariffs, and any active AD/CVD orders that can materially change the real landed cost.
