Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If suitable for use as kerosene-type jet fuel
Jet fuel formulations of kerosene fall under a separate subheading even if composition is similar.
If not specifically classified as motor fuel or kerosene
Kerosene used for heating or lighting rather than motor applications goes to the residual 'other' category.
If 90% or more distills at 210°C (light oil)
Products meeting light oil distillation criteria shift to subheading 2710.12 regardless of end use.
