Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel No. 2
This is a light distillate fuel oil classified as No. 2 diesel with sulfur content not exceeding 15 ppm, meeting the specifications for 2710.19.11.02 due to its API gravity of 25 degrees or more, Saybolt Universal viscosity under 45 seconds at 37.8°C, and use as a primary fuel for diesel engines. It is refined from petroleum or bituminous minerals, excluding crude, biodiesel, and waste oils. Commonly used in on-road vehicles to comply with EPA emissions standards.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sulfur content exceeds 15 ppm but ≤500 ppm
Higher sulfur diesel falls under 2710.19.11.04, as the subheading specifies the sulfur threshold for ultra-low sulfur classification.
If used primarily as heating oil rather than diesel
Heating oils with similar specs but different end-use are classified under 2710.19.15, based on primary application rather than fuel type.
If 90% or more distills at 210°C (light oils)
Products meeting the light oil distillation test per ISO 3405 shift to 2710.12, as it takes precedence over fuel oil subheadings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify sulfur content via ASTM D5453 testing and include lab certificates in documentation; ensure compliance with EPA ultra-low sulfur diesel regulations for on-road use; avoid misclassification as heating oil by confirming primary diesel engine application
