Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2710.12Same rate: 25%

If conventional gasoline blends under 10% ethanol

Low biofuel content classifies as standard motor gasoline, not renewable blends.

2710.12.45Same rate: 25%

If biofuel under 51% but still mixture of hydrocarbons

Statistical breakouts for non-qualifying renewable mixtures within light oils.

3824Lower: 15% vs 25%
