Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel (15-500 ppm) from China

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.

Import Tips

• 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
