Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If viscosity 125 seconds or less at 37.8°C
Lower viscosity heavy fuel oils are classified separately within the same fuel oil subheading.
If API gravity 25 degrees or higher
Fuel oils meeting higher API gravity thresholds fall into lighter distillate categories.
If classified as light oil per ISO 3405 method
Light oils with specific distillation profiles are separated from heavy residual fuels.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify viscosity and API gravity with lab certificates to confirm classification; obtain MARPOL compliance docs for sulfur content; watch for blending ratios exceeding 70% petroleum oils to avoid reclassification
