Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If biodiesel-free industrial fuel
Without biodiesel, classifies as other motor spirit for stationary engines.
If bituminous mineral-derived
Oils solely from bituminous minerals (no petroleum) use separate heading.

No. 2 Diesel Fuel Oil (High Sulfur)
A middle distillate petroleum oil used primarily as fuel for diesel engines in trucks, buses, and off-road equipment, testing 25 degrees A.P.I. or more with Saybolt Universal viscosity at 37.8°C less than 45 seconds. It contains more than 500 ppm sulfur, distinguishing it from ultra-low sulfur diesel, and falls under HTS 2710.20.10.04 as a light fuel oil No. 2 classified as diesel. This classification applies to non-road and locomotive use where higher sulfur content is permitted.
Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) High Sulfur
A blend of diesel and heavier oils used as fuel for marine auxiliary engines and smaller vessels, with API gravity ≥25° and low viscosity <45 SUS. It exceeds 500 ppm sulfur, suitable for international waters outside ECA zones, classified under HTS 2710.20.10.04 as No. 2/3 diesel fuel oil. The biodiesel content qualifies it within this specific preparation subheading.
Locomotive Diesel Fuel (High Sulfur)
Specialized No. 2 diesel fuel for railroad locomotives, featuring >500 ppm sulfur and light fuel characteristics (API ≥25°, viscosity <45 SUS). Exempt from on-road ULSD rules, it's imported for rail transport and classified under HTS 2710.20.10.04 due to biodiesel inclusion and fuel oil specs. Used in freight and passenger trains where higher sulfur is allowable.
Off-Road Construction Diesel (High Sulfur)
High-sulfur No. 2 diesel for heavy construction equipment like excavators and bulldozers, meeting light fuel oil specs with >500 ppm sulfur. API gravity 25°+ and viscosity <45 SUS at 37.8°C; biodiesel blend qualifies for HTS 2710.20.10.04. Used in non-road applications exempt from highway sulfur limits.
Agricultural Tractor Diesel Fuel No. 2 (High Sulfur)
No. 2 diesel oil with >500 ppm sulfur for farm tractors and harvesters, light viscosity <45 SUS and API ≥25°. Biodiesel-containing preparation imported for agricultural non-road use, precisely matching HTS 2710.20.10.04 criteria for high-sulfur diesel fuel oils.
