Reformulated Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending (RBOB) Gasoline
RBOB is a specialized petroleum distillate designed for blending with oxygenates like ethanol to produce reformulated gasoline compliant with U.S. environmental standards. It meets the light oils criteria under 2710.12 as over 90% distills at 210°C and contains 70%+ petroleum oils as the base. Classified specifically in 2710.12.1805 due to its role as motor fuel blending stock for oxygenate addition.
CARBOB Reformulated Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending
CARBOB is California Air Resources Board-compliant RBOB blendstock for oxygenate blending to meet stringent regional emissions standards. As a light oil preparation with 70%+ petroleum oils distilling primarily below 210°C, it fits 2710.12 criteria. The 2710.12.1805 subheading captures its precise use as reformulated motor fuel blendstock.
Summer Specification RBOB Blendstock
Seasonal RBOB formulated for summer volatility control (RVP ≤7.0 psi) before oxygenate addition to prevent evaporative emissions. Qualifies as light oil under 2710.12 with petroleum oils ≥70% by weight as basic constituent. Precise 2710.12.1805 classification reflects its reformulated blendstock function for oxygenate blending.
10% Ethanol RBOB Blendstock Pre-Mix
RBOB blendstock partially pre-mixed with denatured ethanol maintaining oxygenate blending stock status. Still qualifies under 2710.12 light oils with dominant petroleum fraction ≥70%. The 2710.12.1805 specificity captures its intended use in reformulated gasoline production.
RBOB with MTBE Blendstock
Reformulated blendstock containing methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) oxygenate for gasoline production in MTBE-permitted regions. Meets 2710.12 light oil specs with petroleum oils comprising ≥70% basic constituents. Classified 2710.12.1805 for its oxygenate blending stock function despite MTBE inclusion.
Export-Grade RBOB Blendstock
RBOB formulated to international specifications for oxygenate blending in foreign reformulated gasoline markets. Complies with 2710.12 light oil parameters (≥70% petroleum oils, 90% distillation <210°C). HTS 2710.12.1805 applies based on product characteristics regardless of end market.
