Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 2710.19.11
No. 2 Fuel Oil
No. 2 fuel oil is a distillate fuel oil derived from petroleum refining, used primarily for heating buildings and as a diesel engine fuel. It meets HTS 2710.19.11 criteria as it tests 25 degrees A.P.I. or more and contains over 70% petroleum oils as the basic constituent, excluding biodiesel and waste oils.
Home Heating Oil
Home heating oil, typically No. 2 grade, is a petroleum distillate used in residential furnaces for space heating. Classified under HTS 2710.19.11 due to its A.P.I. gravity of 25° or higher and composition exceeding 70% petroleum oils, distinct from crude or waste.
Diesel Fuel (Non-Road)
Off-road diesel fuel is a middle distillate petroleum product with A.P.I. gravity of 25° or more, used in construction equipment and generators. It qualifies for HTS 2710.19.11 as a distillate fuel oil not containing biodiesel and meeting the petroleum content threshold.
Blended Distillate Fuel Oil
Blended distillate fuel oil combines straight-run distillates and cracked stocks, testing 25° A.P.I. or more, for marine or industrial boilers. HTS 2710.19.11 applies as it contains ≥70% petroleum oils, specified as distillate/residual excluding biodiesel.
Industrial Boiler Fuel Oil
Industrial boiler fuel oil is a light distillate (≥25° A.P.I.) petroleum product for process heating in manufacturing. It falls under HTS 2710.19.11 as a non-crude preparation with petroleum oils as the basic ≥70% constituent.
No. 1 Diesel Fuel
No. 1 diesel (Diesel 1-D) is a low-viscosity distillate fuel oil with A.P.I. gravity over 25°, used in cold climates for better flow. Classified in HTS 2710.19.11 for its petroleum distillate nature excluding biodiesel and light oil specs.
Marine Gas Oil (MGO)
Marine gas oil is a distillate bunker fuel testing 25° A.P.I. or higher, used in auxiliary engines on ships. HTS 2710.19.11 covers it as a petroleum-based distillate fuel oil without biodiesel.
Kerosene Fuel Oil
Kerosene is a straight-run petroleum distillate with high A.P.I. gravity (typically 35-45°), used for heating and lighting. Under HTS 2710.19.11, it is classified as a distillate fuel oil due to its petroleum base exceeding 70% and exclusion from light oil definitions.
