Synthetic Blend Transformer Oil from China
A blend of highly refined petroleum oils (>70% content) with synthetic additives, used in high-performance transformers where no single hydrocarbon exceeds 50%. It qualifies as light oils under 2710.12 (distillation >90% at 210°C) and specifically as insulating oil in 2710.12.4545. Provides superior oxidation stability for long-term transformer operation.

Import Tips
• Include technical data sheets proving <50% single hydrocarbon and insulating properties; use UN-approved packaging for hazardous liquids; pitfall: synthetic content >30% may trigger 2710.19 reclassification
