Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If 90%+ distills at 210°C (light oils)
Kerosene-range light oils classified under 2710.12 if meeting distillation criteria.
If sulfur >15 ppm up to 500 ppm
Higher sulfur variants of No. 2-G fall into 2710.19.11.45.
If >50% aromatic content like mixed xylenes
Aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures over 50% shift to Chapter 27 aromatics heading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include generator compatibility specs in entry docs to affirm fuel oil classification
• Test for water/sediment content; contaminated lots often rejected at ports
• Avoid classifying as kerosene if flash point exceeds limits; precise testing required
