No. 2 Heating Oil Ultra-Low Sulfur from China
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.

Import Tips
• 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
