What products are classified under code 3811210048?

TARIC code 3811210048 (Additives containing: - overbased magnesium (C20-C24) alkylbenzenesulphonates (CAS RN 231297-75-9) and - by weight more than 25% but not more than 50% of mineral oils, - having a total base number of more than 350, but not more than 450, for use in the manufacture of lubricating oils or for use in the manufacture of blends of additives for lubricating oils) covers the following products: Overbased magnesium (C20-C24) alkylbenzenesulphonate additive, CAS RN 231297-75-9, mineral oil content > 25% to 50%, TBN > 350 to 450, Overbased magnesium alkylbenzenesulphonate in mineral oil for manufacture of lubricating oils, CAS RN 231297-75-9, total base number > 350 to 450.

What are the non-preferential origin rules for Additives containing: - overbased magnesium (C20-C24) alkylbenzenesulphonates (CAS RN 231297-75-9) and - by weight more than 25% but not more than 50% of mineral oils, - having a total base number of more than 350, but not more than 450, for use in the manufacture of lubricating oils or for use in the manufacture of blends of additives for lubricating oils (3811210048)?

Non-preferential origin rules for Additives containing: - overbased magnesium (C20-C24) alkylbenzenesulphonates (CAS RN 231297-75-9) and - by weight more than 25% but not more than 50% of mineral oils, - having a total base number of more than 350, but not more than 450, for use in the manufacture of lubricating oils or for use in the manufacture of blends of additives for lubricating oils are defined in Annex 22-01 of the UCC Delegated Act. These rules determine the country of origin for MFN duty rates, trade policy measures, and origin marking.

Can TARIC code 3811210048 be used on a customs declaration?
