Products classified under HTS 2710.19.11.03
Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel No. 2
This is a refined petroleum distillate fuel oil classified as No. 2 diesel with sulfur content between 15 and 500 ppm, testing 25 degrees A.P.I. or more and having Saybolt Universal viscosity at 37.8°C of less than 45 seconds. It meets the specifications for light fuel oils used primarily in on-road diesel engines and falls under HTS 2710.19.11.03 due to its precise sulfur limits and physical properties distinguishing it from crude or higher sulfur fuels.
Low Sulfur Marine Diesel Oil
A No. 2 or No. 3 distillate marine fuel oil with sulfur limited to 15-500 ppm, suitable for auxiliary engines in vessels, meeting 25+ A.P.I. and low viscosity specs. Classified under HTS 2710.19.11.03 as it qualifies as diesel oil with controlled sulfur for emission-regulated maritime use.
No. 2-G Grade Diesel Fuel
Grade No. 2-G diesel per ASTM D975, a general-purpose middle distillate with 15-500 ppm sulfur, low viscosity, and high A.P.I. gravity for off-road, heating, or generator applications. It fits HTS 2710.19.11.03 as a light fuel oil diesel not qualifying for ultra-low sulfur exemptions.
Heating Oil No. 2 with Moderate Sulfur
Distillate fuel oil No. 2 for residential and commercial heating boilers, sulfur between 15-500 ppm, compliant with light fuel oil parameters of A.P.I. ≥25 and viscosity <45 SUS. HTS 2710.19.11.03 applies as it is a diesel-range product used interchangeably for heating.
Generator Set Diesel Fuel No. 3
No. 3 diesel fuel optimized for stationary generator sets, with sulfur 15-500 ppm, matching light fuel oil specs for reliable combustion in emergency power systems. Classified in HTS 2710.19.11.03 for its diesel characteristics and sulfur control.
Off-Road Low Sulfur Diesel
Diesel fuel for non-road heavy equipment like construction machinery, sulfur capped at 500 ppm max (above 15 ppm), light viscosity per specs. HTS 2710.19.11.03 covers this as No. 2/3 diesel not meeting ultra-low sulfur highway standards.
