Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for higher viscosity versions
No. 3 diesel with ≥45 SUS viscosity moves to the next subheading.
If non-biodiesel equivalent
Without biodiesel, classifies under general petroleum distillates.
If derived primarily from bituminous minerals
Oils from bituminous minerals (not petroleum) may fall under crude-like preparations in 2709.
