Alternative Classifications

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

2710.19.90Higher: 32% vs 25%

If for other unspecified petroleum oil preparations

Products not fitting distillate/residual fuel oil specs default to catch-all 'other' subheading.

2710.91.00Lower: 7.5% vs 25%

If classified as waste oils from used lubricating oils

Waste oils containing reprocessed lubricants fall under separate waste oils heading.

2701.12.00Same rate: 25%

If in solid form resembling bituminous coal

Coal-derived bituminous products with >14% volatiles classify under coal headings, not oils.

No. 5 Heavy Fuel Oil (Bunker C Grade)

No. 5 fuel oil is a heavy residual fuel oil with a Saybolt Universal viscosity at 37.8°C exceeding 125 seconds and API gravity under 25 degrees, derived from petroleum refining processes. It is classified under HTS 2710.19.06.25 due to its specific physical properties distinguishing it from lighter distillates and other fuel oils. Primarily used in large industrial boilers and marine vessels.

No. 5 Marine Bunker Fuel Oil

Heavy fuel oil No. 5 formulated for marine propulsion, featuring high viscosity (>125 Saybolt seconds at 37.8°C) and low API gravity (<25°), obtained from bituminous mineral distillation residues. HTS 2710.19.06.25 applies specifically to this grade's properties, excluding biodiesel blends or waste oils. Supplied to oceangoing vessels for main engines.

Industrial No. 5 Residual Fuel Oil

Residual fuel oil No. 5 for stationary industrial combustion, characterized by API gravity under 25° and Saybolt viscosity over 125 seconds at 37.8°C, containing over 70% petroleum oils. This classification under 2710.19.06.25 reflects its heavy, undistilled nature from refinery processes. Ideal for power plants and large furnaces.

No. 5 High Sulfur Fuel Oil

No. 5 grade heavy fuel oil with sulfur content typically 1-3.5%, API <25°, and viscosity >125 Saybolt seconds at 37.8°C, a residual product from petroleum refining. Falls under HTS 2710.19.06.25 for heavy fuel oils meeting these specs, distinct from low-sulfur or biodiesel preparations. Used in permitted industrial burners.
