No. 2 Heating Oil Ultra-Low Sulfur
No. 2 heating oil is a light distillate fuel oil used primarily for residential and commercial heating systems, testing 25 degrees A.P.I. or more with Saybolt Universal viscosity at 37.8°C less than 45 seconds. It contains not more than 15 ppm sulfur, classifying it under HTS 2710.19.11.05 as a low-sulfur fuel oil No. 2. This meets strict environmental regulations for reduced emissions.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sulfur exceeds 15 ppm but ≤500 ppm
Higher sulfur light fuel oils No. 2/3 shift to 2710.19.11.10 due to different environmental specs.
If viscosity ≥45 seconds at 37.8°C
Thicker viscosity light fuel oils fall under 2710.19.15, changing subheading based on flow properties.
If contains biodiesel ≥30% by volume
Biodiesel blends are excluded from 2710 and classified under biodiesel provisions in Chapter 38.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify sulfur content certification via ASTM D5453 testing to confirm ≤15 ppm compliance
• Ensure documentation includes API gravity, viscosity, and flash point for customs classification
• Beware of misclassification as higher sulfur fuels; bulk imports require proper storage to avoid contamination
