Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2710.19.06Same rate: 25%

If pure petroleum No. 2 diesel without biodiesel

Non-biodiesel versions classify under straight petroleum distillates.

2710.12.15Same rate: 25%

If 90%+ distills at 210°C (light oils)

Meets light oil definition per subheading note, potentially shifting to motor fuel oils.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 25%

If chemical additives >30% for performance enhancement

High additive content makes it a prepared chemical product, not basic petroleum oil.
