Alternative Classifications

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

2710.19.11Same rate: 25%

If for No. 5 or heavier fuel oils

Heavier grades with higher viscosity classify downstream in 2710.19.11.

2711.12.00Same rate: 25%

If liquefied natural gas derived

Propane/natural gas liquids fall under 2711, not petroleum distillates.

3402Lower: 13.7% vs 25%

If surface-active diesel additives dominate

Preparations >70% surfactants shift to Chapter 34.
