Products classified under HTS 2710.20.10.13
Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel (15-500 ppm)
This is a light distillate fuel oil derived from petroleum, tested at 25 degrees A.P.I. or more with Saybolt Universal viscosity at 37.8°C less than 45 seconds, containing biodiesel and sulfur between 15-500 ppm. It meets HTS 2710.20.10.13 specifications for blended fuel oils used in on-road diesel engines compliant with EPA standards. The biodiesel content ensures it qualifies under the biodiesel-containing subheading.
Biodiesel-Blended Heating Oil (Low Sulfur)
A blended distillate fuel oil for residential heating, containing over 70% petroleum oils with biodiesel, 25+ degrees A.P.I., viscosity <45 SUS at 37.8°C, and sulfur 15-500 ppm. Classified under HTS 2710.20.10.13 due to its light fuel oil specs and biodiesel incorporation for cleaner combustion. Used in home furnaces meeting regional ultra-low sulfur standards.
No. 2 Diesel Biodiesel Blend (ULSD Compliant)
Standard No. 2 diesel fuel blended with biodiesel, featuring 15-500 ppm sulfur, 25+ API gravity, and <45 SUS viscosity, per HTS 2710.20.10.13. Designed for highway vehicles and equipment under low-sulfur mandates. The petroleum oils form the base (>70%), with biodiesel for renewable content.
Marine Light Fuel Oil Biodiesel Mix (Low S)
Blended light marine fuel oil with biodiesel, sulfur 15-500 ppm, API 25+, viscosity <45 SUS, fitting HTS 2710.20.10.13 for distillate fuels. Used in auxiliary engines on vessels under IMO sulfur caps. Biodiesel inclusion qualifies it distinctly from pure petroleum marine fuels.
Industrial Boiler Light Fuel Oil (B20 Blend)
B20 biodiesel blend (20% biodiesel) light fuel oil for industrial boilers, with 15-500 ppm sulfur, 25+ API, <45 SUS at 37.8°C, under HTS 2710.20.10.13. Provides efficient combustion for manufacturing processes. Meets specs for non-road stationary engines.
Generator Diesel Fuel Biodiesel Blend
Light diesel blend with biodiesel for standby generators, sulfur 15-500 ppm, API ≥25, viscosity <45 SUS, per HTS 2710.20.10.13. Suitable for emergency power systems in commercial buildings. Biodiesel enhances lubricity for prolonged engine life.
Off-Road Equipment Fuel (Biodiesel ULSD)
ULSD biodiesel blend for construction and agricultural off-road equipment, 15-500 ppm S, 25+ API, <45 SUS, HTS 2710.20.10.13. Exempt from some on-road taxes but meets Tier 4 emissions. Petroleum base with biodiesel for sustainability.
Backup Power Plant Light Fuel Oil Blend
Biodiesel-containing light fuel oil for peaking power plants, sulfur 15-500 ppm, light specs per HTS 2710.20.10.13. Used in dual-fuel turbines for grid stability. Ensures low-emission backup generation.
HVAC Furnace Oil Biodiesel Mix
Residential/commercial furnace oil with biodiesel, 15-500 ppm sulfur, API 25+, <45 SUS, classified HTS 2710.20.10.13. Optimized for forced-air heating systems. Reduces particulate emissions via biodiesel.
Construction Diesel Blend B5 (Low Sulfur)
B5 biodiesel light diesel for heavy construction machinery, sulfur 15-500 ppm, meeting HTS 2710.20.10.13 light fuel criteria. Supports excavators, loaders under emissions controls. Minimal biodiesel for compatibility.
