Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If primarily aromatic with >50% xylenes
Predominantly aromatic mixtures with >50% single aromatics like xylenes fall under specific 2707-derived subheadings.
If sold as organic composite solvent for specific uses
Prepared organic composite solvents for industrial applications are classified in 3814, not base petroleum oils.
If contains >30% lubricants or textile auxiliaries
Lubricating preparations with significant non-petroleum additives shift to Chapter 34.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Label with flash point and composition details per GHS standards for chemical import compliance
• Avoid misdeclaration as 'aromatic solvent' which could trigger 2707.20 if >50% toluene
• Bulk imports require vapor pressure testing to confirm light oil status and prevent waste oil classification
