Biodegradable lubricants and related preparations with less than 70% petroleum or bituminous-mineral oils
This is a complete 8-digit customs code. Exports and Intrastat use it as it is. For an import into the EU the declaration uses 3403 19 80 00: this code with 00 added.
This covers prepared lubricants, including cutting oils, thread-release products, rust- or corrosion-prevention products and mould-release products, when they contain less than 70% oils from petroleum or bituminous minerals. The lubricant must also have a biobased carbon content of at least 25% by mass and be biodegradable at a level of at least 60%; preparations for treating textiles, leather, fur or other materials are excluded.
For example
- A biodegradable cutting oil with at least 25% biobased carbon by mass, biodegradability of at least 60%, and less than 70% petroleum-derived oil
- A biodegradable rust-prevention lubricant with at least 25% biobased carbon by mass, biodegradability of at least 60%, and less than 70% oil from bituminous minerals
- A biodegradable mould-release lubricant with at least 25% biobased carbon by mass, biodegradability of at least 60%, and less than 70% petroleum-derived oil

Before you use the code
Check the facts that sit outside the code
The code can be right while what you pay still changes, because of where the goods come from, when they arrive, or extra EU measures.
- The product and its form Check that your product really matches this description, including what it is made of and the form it arrives in.
- Country of origin Trade agreements, sanctions and extra measures can change the treatment of the very same code.
- Current tariff measures Check today's rate, any restrictions or licences, and the quantity customs asks for, with Toldstyrelsen or TARIC.
On an import declaration
3403 19 80 00

Duty suspension: 0% for ships, boats and drilling platforms*
Conditions apply, customs authorisation needed.
A suspension is a lower rate the EU grants for specific products; whether your goods qualify depends on the line's wording and conditions.
Exports from the EU and Intrastat normally use the 8-digit code as it is.
