HSN Code Details
Cutting oil and hydraulic oil are lubricants formulated to reduce friction and heat in machining and heavy equipment, while industrial white oil serves as a base for specialty chemical formulations. These oils are crucial for precision metalworking and large‑scale hydraulic systems.
When shipping cutting oil or hydraulic oil, containers must be sealed and labeled to prevent leakage, and the cargo should be transported in temperature‑controlled containers to maintain viscosity. Exporters should include a certificate of origin and ensure compliance with any destination country’s chemical handling regulations.
