Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If motor fuel blendstock
Intended for gasoline blending moves to specific motor fuel provisions under 2710.12.30.
If >50% cyclohexane or similar
Mixtures dominated by specific cyclic hydrocarbons classify under Chapter 29 organic chemicals.
If heavier distillates failing light oil test
Failure of 90% distillation at 210°C shifts to general 'other' petroleum oils in 2710.19.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit distillation curve data (ISO 3405) proving 90%+ at 210°C for light oil verification
• Check for REACH-like compliance if from EU; US requires TSCA certification for new chemicals
• Segregate from biodiesel-contaminated lots to avoid 2710.19 reclassification
