Low Sulfur Marine Gas Oil (MGO) 0.1% S
Marine gas oil with sulfur between 15-500 ppm (0.1% max), light distillate fuel for marine auxiliary engines, API gravity 25+ and viscosity <45 SUS at 37.8°C. Classified under HTS 2710.19.11.13 as it fits low-sulfur light fuel oil specs from petroleum refining. Used in vessels compliant with IMO 2020 sulfur cap.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sulfur exceeds 500 ppm up to 2000 ppm
Higher sulfur content in light fuel oils shifts to the next sulfur bracket subheading.
If marketed primarily as lubricating oils
If positioned for lubrication rather than fuel, it moves to heavy petroleum oil classifications.
If derived from coal tar rather than petroleum
Bituminous mineral oils from coal sources use Chapter 27 heading 2709 instead of petroleum 2710.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide bunker delivery notes and sulfur test reports (ASTM D4294) to prove compliance with 15-500 ppm range
• Confirm no biodiesel blending, as that redirects to 2710.19.20; label clearly as petroleum-based
• Adhere to MARPOL Annex VI for marine fuels; USCG approval may be needed for vessel use
