No. 4 Fuel Oil (High Sulfur)
A medium viscosity distillate and residual blended fuel oil with Saybolt Universal viscosity at 37.8°C between 45 and 125 seconds, testing under 25 degrees A.P.I., and containing more than 500 ppm sulfur. Classified under HTS 2710.19.06.15 due to its specific viscosity, density, and high sulfur content meeting the criteria for No. 4-type fuel oils not elsewhere specified.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sulfur ≤500 ppm
Lower sulfur content shifts to subheading 2710.19.06.10 within the same No. 4 fuel oil category.
If viscosity <45 SUS or >125 SUS
Viscosity outside 45-125 seconds range classifies under other No. 4-type fuel oil specs like 2710.19.05.
If API gravity ≥25 degrees
Higher density (≥25° API) places it in lighter fuel oil subheadings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain independent lab analysis for sulfur content (>500 ppm), viscosity, and API gravity to support classification; comply with US EPA fuel sulfur limits for end-use; declare exact specifications on entry documents to avoid reclassification
