HSN Code Details
Base oil and lubricating oil are refined petroleum products that have been treated to reduce impurities and improve viscosity, resulting in a clear, stable liquid suitable for industrial use. The refining process includes distillation, desalting, and sometimes blending with additives to meet specific performance criteria.
Containers for shipping lubricating oil must be certified for hazardous materials, and the product should be stored in temperature‑controlled tanks to maintain viscosity. Documentation should include a certificate of analysis confirming the oil’s grade and additive package, as buyers often require proof of compliance with international standards such as ISO 6743.
