2710.19.11.07/No. 3 Fuel Oil Low-Sulfur (15-500 ppm)/China

No. 3 Fuel Oil Low-Sulfur (15-500 ppm) from China

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.

Import Tips

• Provide Saybolt viscosity test results (<45 sec) and sulfur analysis per ISO methods; label containers clearly as 'No. 3 Fuel Oil' to prevent reclassification

• Monitor for blending with biodiesel, which requires different subheading; ensure vessel cleanliness to avoid contamination claims
