Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3826.00.10.00Higher: 39.6% vs 25%

If biodiesel-dominant blend

If biodiesel >30% or primary constituent, moves to biodiesel fuels in 3826.

2710.19.11.03Same rate: 25%

If straight petroleum diesel

No biodiesel shifts to non-biodiesel low-sulfur diesel.

2710.20.15.00Same rate: 25%

If higher sulfur >500 ppm

Exceeding 500 ppm sulfur places it in higher sulfur fuel oil subheadings.

Import Tips & Compliance

Certify B20 stability and cold filter plugging point for winter imports

Declare exact sulfur via independent lab (e.g

ISO 20884); retain for CBP review

Avoid bulk imports without sulfur guarantee; contamination risks reclassification
