Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2710.19.11.50Same rate: 25%

If testing <25° API

Lower API gravity classifies it as heavier distillate/residual fuel oil blend.

2710.20Lower: 10% vs 25%

If contains biodiesel

Any biodiesel inclusion excludes it from 2710.19 and shifts to biodiesel-containing preparations.

2710.19.90Higher: 32% vs 25%

If <70% petroleum oils

Preparations with less than 70% petroleum oils fall into the general 'other' category.
