Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel No. 2 from Mexico
A light distillate fuel oil classified as No. 2 diesel with sulfur content between 15 and 500 ppm, testing 25 degrees A.P.I. or more and Saybolt Universal viscosity under 45 seconds at 37.8°C. It falls under HTS 2710.20.10.03 due to its specific sulfur limits, API gravity, and viscosity matching the subheading for diesel fuel oils containing biodiesel. Used primarily for on-road vehicles compliant with EPA standards.

Import Tips
• Verify sulfur content certification via ASTM D5453 testing to confirm 15-500 ppm range for HTS 2710.20.10.03 classification
• Include biodiesel percentage documentation as it must contain biodiesel per the heading; ensure EPA fuel certification for U.S. entry
• Avoid misclassification by checking viscosity and API gravity; common pitfall is confusing with higher sulfur diesel under 2710.19
