Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If biodiesel is the primary constituent (>50%)
Anti-freeze/fluid preparations with high biodiesel shift to Chapter 38 for non-petroleum fuel mixes.
If viscosity ≥45 Saybolt seconds
Higher viscosity at 37.8°C classifies as medium/heavy fuel oils in subsequent subheadings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis for biodiesel verification per subheading definition
• Use ISO 8217-compliant specs for marine/off-road if applicable, but confirm highway-grade for this code
