JP-4 Naphtha-Type Jet Propellant
JP-4 is a wide-cut naphtha-type jet fuel historically used in military aircraft, blending naphtha and kerosene fractions for cold-weather performance. Classified under HTS 2710.12.1520 due to its light oil properties (90%+ distill at 210°C) and designation as naphtha-type motor fuel for jet engines. It meets military specs like MIL-DTL-5624 and excludes waste oils or crude derivatives.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for kerosene-heavy military blends like JP-8
JP-8 and similar kerosene-type fuels are distinguished from naphtha-type JP-4 by base composition in the jet fuel subheading.
If gasoline blend for aviation piston engines
Aviation gasoline (avgas) falls under motor fuel but separate from jet fuels based on intended engine type and octane rating.
If not specifically for motor fuel use
Light oils without motor fuel designation go to the residual light oils subheading.
