Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If viscosity ≤45 SUS
Thinner viscosity classifies as No. 2 distillate fuel rather than No. 4 type.
If lubricating oils
If viscosity exceeds fuel specs and used for lubrication, it moves to motor oil headings.
If waste-derived
Recovered or re-refined waste oils classify separately under waste petroleum products.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Use accredited labs for viscosity (ASTM D2161) and sulfur (ASTM D4294) testing prior to shipment
• Include bill of lading noting 'fuel oil for industrial use' to support classification over motor fuels
• Monitor INCO terms; FOB imports require sulfur compliance docs at origin port
