Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If meets military or commercial jet fuel specifications like JP-8
Kerosene-type jet fuel, even if suitable for blending, falls under specific jet fuel subheadings based on end-use specs.
If 90%+ distills at 210°C (light oil spec)
Meets light oils definition per subheading note, shifting from kerosene to motor gasoline blending category.
If primarily for motor fuel use without kerosene characteristics
General motor fuel category applies if not specifically kerosene-type per distillation profile.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify flash point and distillation range via ASTM D86 to confirm classification as kerosene blending stock, not jet fuel (HTS 2710.19.20)
• Provide certificates of analysis showing >70% petroleum oil content and blending use to avoid reclassification as general kerosene
• Ensure proper storage and transport documentation for flammable liquids to comply with DOT and CBP hazardous materials regulations
