Low-Sulfur Marine Gas Oil (MGO) No. 2/3
Marine Gas Oil (MGO) classified as No. 2/3 fuel meets HTS 2710.19.11.07 specs: light distillate (visc <45 sec, API ≥25°) with 15-500 ppm sulfur for vessels in emission control areas (ECAs). It's a petroleum distillate ≥70% oils, not crude or biodiesel, used in auxiliary engines and main propulsion. Sulfur limit complies with IMO 2020 regs outside global caps.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sulfur >500 ppm for open sea use
Non-ECA marine fuels with higher sulfur classify under 2710.19.16 'other' fuel oils Nos. 2/3.
If heavier viscosity or residual components
Marine fuels not qualifying as 'light' (visc ≥45 sec) fall under 'other' petroleum oils in 2710.19.90.
If chemically modified or high additive fuel treatment
Fuels treated as chemical preparations (e.g., performance enhancers >30%) move to Chapter 38.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include ISO 8217 bunker fuel analysis confirming sulfur 15-500 ppm and cetane index; declare for marine use to avoid road diesel scrutiny
• Verify flash point >60°C for safety; coordinate with USCG for vessel fuel imports

No. 2 Fuel Oil Ultra-Low Sulfur (15-500 ppm)
No. 2 fuel oil is a light distillate fuel oil used primarily for heating buildings and as diesel engine fuel in non-road applications, with a Saybolt Universal viscosity at 37.8°C less than 45 seconds and API gravity of 25 degrees or more. It contains more than 15 ppm but not more than 500 ppm sulfur, classifying it under HTS 2710.19.11.07 as a distillate fuel oil meeting low-sulfur environmental standards. This specification distinguishes it from higher sulfur variants and crude oils.
No. 3 Fuel Oil Low-Sulfur (15-500 ppm)
No. 3 fuel oil, a slightly heavier light distillate than No. 2, is used for industrial heating and marine applications where low sulfur is required, with viscosity under 45 Saybolt Universal seconds at 37.8°C and API 25° or higher. Its sulfur content between 15-500 ppm qualifies it precisely for HTS 2710.19.11.07, excluding it from crude, waste, or biodiesel-containing oils. This grade bridges light fuels for regulatory compliance in emissions-controlled areas.
Blended No. 2 Heating Oil ULSD (15-500 ppm S)
Blended No. 2 heating oil for residential and commercial boilers meets light fuel oil parameters (API ≥25°, visc <45 sec) with sulfur controlled at 15-500 ppm to meet air quality standards. Classified under HTS 2710.19.11.07 as a distillate fuel oil preparation containing ≥70% petroleum oils, excluding biodiesel or waste. It's dyed red for non-taxed heating use in the US.
Industrial Boiler No. 2 Fuel Oil 15-500 ppm S
No. 2-grade fuel oil for industrial boilers and process heaters has light fuel characteristics (API 25°+, visc <45 sec) and sulfur between 15-500 ppm, fitting HTS 2710.19.11.07 for non-crude petroleum distillates ≥70% oils. Used in manufacturing for steam generation, it meets urban air toxics standards without ultra-low sulfur refinement.
Generator Set Diesel Fuel No. 2 Low-Sulfur
Low-sulfur No. 2 diesel for stationary generators (backup power) meets 2710.19.11.07: 15-500 ppm S, light viscosity <45 sec, API ≥25°, as non-biodiesel petroleum distillate. Used in off-road prime/standby gensets where ULSD (≤15 ppm) isn't mandated, providing cost-effective power reliability.
