Products classified under HTS 2710.19.16.00
Jet A-1 Kerosene-Type Jet Fuel
Jet A-1 is a standardized kerosene-type jet fuel used in commercial and military aviation worldwide, meeting strict specifications for freeze point and energy content. It falls under HTS 2710.19.16.00 as a petroleum oil derived from bituminous minerals, specifically classified as kerosene-type jet fuel, excluding crude and biodiesel blends. This fuel powers turbine engines in aircraft like Boeing 737s and Airbus A320s.
JP-8 Military Jet Fuel
JP-8 is a kerosene-type jet fuel formulated for military aircraft, incorporating anti-icing and corrosion inhibitors for extreme conditions. Classified under HTS 2710.19.16.00 due to its kerosene base and jet propulsion specifications, distinct from crude or waste oils. It meets MIL-DTL-83133 standards for use in jets like F-16 fighters.
Jet A Kerosene-Type Jet Fuel
Jet A is the U.S. standard kerosene-type jet fuel for civil aviation, similar to Jet A-1 but with a higher freeze point for domestic routes. It qualifies under HTS 2710.19.16.00 as a non-crude petroleum distillate specifically for jet propulsion. Commonly used in regional jets and general aviation.
Aviation Kerosene JP-5
JP-5 is a high-flash-point kerosene-type jet fuel designed for naval aircraft carriers, offering superior safety on ships. It is imported under HTS 2710.19.16.00 as kerosene-type jet fuel from bituminous minerals, meeting MIL-PRF-5624 specs. Used in carrier-based fighters like F/A-18 Hornets.
