Ultra-Low Sulfur No. 2 Fuel Oil (15 ppm S)
This is a light distillate fuel oil classified under HTS 2710.20.10.05 due to its API gravity of 25 degrees or more, Saybolt Universal viscosity under 45 seconds at 37.8°C, and sulfur content not exceeding 15 ppm. It contains biodiesel as a basic constituent (70%+ petroleum oils) and is used primarily for heating and diesel engine applications in residential and commercial settings. The low sulfur meets stringent environmental regulations for reduced emissions.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not containing biodiesel
Products without biodiesel as a basic constituent fall under the general petroleum oils subheading excluding biodiesel blends.
If viscosity 45 seconds or more at 37.8°C
Higher viscosity light fuel oils shift to a different subheading within distillate fuels, even with low sulfur.
If less than 70% petroleum oils
Preparations with under 70% by weight petroleum oils are classified as biodiesel or fatty acid derivatives outside Chapter 27.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify sulfur content certification via ASTM D5453 testing to confirm ≤15 ppm compliance; ensure biodiesel blend documentation meets EPA renewable fuel standards
• Common pitfall: misclassifying higher sulfur variants—always check viscosity and API gravity specs
