Products classified under HTS 2710.20.10

No. 2 Diesel Fuel

No. 2 diesel fuel is a middle distillate petroleum oil used primarily for heating and transportation, with an API gravity of 30-40 degrees, classifying it under HTS 2710.20.10 as a distillate fuel oil testing 25 degrees API or more. It contains biodiesel blends meeting the 70% petroleum oil threshold and is not crude.

B5 Biodiesel Blend Heating Oil

A B5 blend combining 5% biodiesel with 95% petroleum distillate, used for residential and commercial heating, with API gravity exceeding 25 degrees. This product qualifies for HTS 2710.20.10 due to its high petroleum oil content and fuel oil characteristics.

Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD)

ULSD is a refined No. 2 diesel with sulfur content under 15 ppm, API gravity 30-42 degrees, often blended with biodiesel for on-road use. It meets HTS 2710.20.10 criteria as a high-API distillate fuel oil containing biodiesel.

Kerosene Fuel Oil Blend

A biodiesel-blended kerosene-grade distillate used for industrial burners and turbines, with API gravity above 25 degrees. Classified in HTS 2710.20.10 for its distillate fuel properties and petroleum-dominant composition.

Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) Light Blend

Light marine diesel oil with biodiesel admixture and API gravity ≥25 degrees, used in auxiliary engines. HTS 2710.20.10 applies to this distillate fuel oil preparation exceeding 70% petroleum oils.

Industrial Furnace Oil No. 2 Grade

No. 2 grade furnace oil blended with biodiesel for manufacturing boilers, API gravity 28-35 degrees. This distillate fuel qualifies under HTS 2710.20.10 as a petroleum-based preparation.

B20 Biodiesel Highway Diesel

B20 blend (20% biodiesel, 80% petroleum diesel) for highway vehicles, API gravity over 25 degrees. Meets HTS 2710.20.10 for biodiesel-containing distillate fuels.
