Naphtha Jet Fuel Blend for Turbine Engines
A refined naphtha-based blend optimized for civilian turbine-powered aircraft, providing high volatility for quick ignition. It qualifies for HTS 2710.12.1520 as a light oil motor fuel where 90%+ volume distills at 210°C per ISO 3405, distinct from heavier kerosene jet fuels. Used primarily in regional jets and auxiliary power units.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If wide-cut or JP-5 equivalent
Other specified jet fuels not fitting naphtha-type go to the catch-all jet fuel subheading.
If sold as petrochemical feedstock
Naphtha intended for refining rather than direct motor fuel use falls under crude petroleum spirit heading.
If for automotive motor spirits
Motor gasoline blends are separated from jet fuels even if naphtha-based.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit flash point and freezing point test data to differentiate from kerosene-type and ensure proper jet fuel subclassification
• Label containers with UN 1863 'Jet Fuel' markings and include safety data sheets (SDS) for customs clearance
