Products classified under HTS 2710.12.90.00
Mineral Spirits
A clear, colorless petroleum distillate primarily composed of aliphatic hydrocarbons, used as a solvent in paints and cleaning products. It qualifies under HTS 2710.12.90.00 as a light oil where 90% or more distills at 210°C per ISO 3405, containing over 70% petroleum oils as the basic constituent, and not classified as biodiesel or waste.
Paint Thinner
A petroleum-based solvent blend used to thin oil-based paints and varnishes, consisting mainly of light hydrocarbons. Falls under 2710.12.90.00 as a preparation with ≥70% petroleum oils as basic constituents, meeting light oil distillation criteria, excluding biodiesel and waste.
Stoddard Solvent
A refined petroleum distillate used in dry cleaning and as an industrial degreaser, with a distillation range fitting light oils. Classified in 2710.12.90.00 due to >70% petroleum content, light oil properties per ISO 3405, and exclusion from biodiesel/waste categories.
Naphtha Solvent
Light petroleum naphtha used as an industrial solvent in rubber processing and extraction. Meets HTS 2710.12.90.00 as a non-crude petroleum oil with ≥70% basic oil content and light oil distillation specs, not biodiesel or waste.
White Spirits
Low-odor petroleum distillates used in paints, coatings, and cleaners, characterized by light oil properties. Under 2710.12.90.00 for preparations >70% petroleum oils, distilling 90%+ at 210°C, excluding biodiesel and waste oils.
Aromatic 100 Solvent
