IFO 180 Heavy Marine Fuel from China
IFO 180 is a blended intermediate fuel oil used in marine engines, combining residual and distillate fractions with a biodiesel component. It contains more than 70% by weight of petroleum oils, which are the basic constituents, and is not a waste oil. It is classified under tariff item 2710.20.90 because it is a petroleum preparation containing biodiesel, other than lubricating oils put up for retail sale.

Import Tips
• Ensure the biodiesel content is clearly documented, as the classification depends on the presence of biodiesel
• Verify that the product is not considered a waste oil under Chapter 27 Note 3, which would change the tariff classification
• Consult the CBSA's D10 database for the current Most-Favoured-Nation duty rate, as it may be subject to change
