Alternative Classifications

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

2710.19Same rate: 25%

If API gravity between 22-25 degrees

Narrower API ranges have specific subheadings like 2710.19.03 for medium-heavy residuals.

2713.20.00Same rate: 25%

If bitumen-emulsion stabilized

Petroleum bitumen preparations exceeding 70% oil content are under heading 2713.
