Products classified under HTS 2710.12.18
FCC Light Naphtha Blendstock
Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) light naphtha is a byproduct stream rich in olefins, blended into motor gasoline for octane enhancement. Classified in HTS 2710.12.18 as motor fuel blending stock, meeting light oil distillation and petroleum content thresholds. Key component in modern refinery gasoline pools.
Butane Debutanizer Bottoms Blendstock
Butane debutanizer bottoms are C5+ light hydrocarbons from natural gas processing, used as gasoline blendstock. HTS 2710.12.18 covers this as motor fuel blending stock light oil, >70% petroleum with distillation at 210°C. Improves gasoline volatility.
Reformate Gasoline Blending Stock
Reformate is a high-octane petroleum distillate produced from naphtha reforming, used as a key blending stock for motor gasoline to boost octane rating. It falls under HTS 2710.12.18 as a light oil motor fuel blending stock, containing over 70% petroleum oils and 90%+ distilling at 210°C. This product is not crude oil or biodiesel-containing preparation.
Alkylate Gasoline Blending Stock
Alkylate is a clean-burning, high-octane blending component made from isobutane and olefin alkylation, primarily used in premium motor fuels. Classified under HTS 2710.12.18 as motor fuel blending stock due to its light oil characteristics and >70% petroleum oil content. It meets the 90% distillation at 210°C requirement for subheading 2710.12.
Isomerate Motor Fuel Blendstock
Isomerate is produced by isomerizing normal paraffins to branched isomers, yielding a high-quality, low-RVP gasoline blendstock for motor fuel production. It qualifies for HTS 2710.12.18 as a light petroleum oil blending stock with distillation properties meeting subheading criteria. Essential for reformulated gasoline compliance.
C5 Raffinate Gasoline Blendstock
C5 raffinate is a light hydrocarbon stream from di-isopropyl ether production, used as a gasoline blending component for octane and volume. HTS 2710.12.18 applies as it's a motor fuel blending stock light oil with >70% petroleum content and proper distillation range. Commonly sourced from petrochemical crackers.
Platformate High-Octane Blendstock
Platformate, a type of catalytic reformate, provides aromatics and high octane for motor fuel blending. Falls under HTS 2710.12.18 as light oil motor fuel blending stock with requisite petroleum content and volatility. Widely traded in global refining markets.
