Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel (15-500 ppm)
This is a light distillate fuel oil refined from petroleum, testing 25 degrees A.P.I. or more with Saybolt Universal viscosity at 37.8°C less than 45 seconds, containing 15-500 ppm sulfur. It meets HTS 2710.19.11.13 specifications for low-sulfur light fuel oils used primarily in on-road diesel engines and compliant machinery. The classification applies due to its petroleum base exceeding 70% oil content and precise sulfur limits.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sulfur content is 15 ppm or less
Lower sulfur levels classify under the ultra-low sulfur subheading with stricter environmental specs.
If viscosity at 37.8°C is 45 seconds or more
Higher viscosity moves it from light to medium fuel oil categories within distillate fuels.
If less than 70% petroleum oils by weight
Preparations with lower petroleum content fall outside the basic oils threshold into general categories.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify sulfur content via ISO 20846 or ASTM D5453 testing and include certificates with entry documentation to confirm 15-500 ppm compliance
• Ensure product meets 25° API gravity and <45 SUS viscosity at 37.8°C; non-compliance shifts to other subheadings
• Obtain EPA fuel registration if for on-road use; watch for blending that could exceed 70% petroleum oil threshold
