Alternative Classifications

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

2710.19.16Same rate: 25%

If lighter distillates

If viscosity <45 SUS, classifies as kerosene-type or lighter fuel oils.

2710.99Lower: 17% vs 25%

If additized preparations

Fuel oils with performance additives >30% may classify as other preparations.

2707.50Lower: 10% vs 25%

If aromatic-rich

High aromatic content (>50% xylenes/etc.) shifts to aromatic hydrocarbon headings.

Import Tips & Compliance

Comply with MARPOL Annex VI sulfur limits; provide bunker delivery note with sulfur verification

Declare as 'non-propulsion fuel' if for auxiliary use to avoid vessel fuel restrictions

Bulk imports need shore tank gauging certs matching invoice quantities and specs
