No. 2 Heating Oil High Sulfur
No. 2 fuel oil is a distillate fuel used primarily for residential and commercial heating, testing 25 degrees A.P.I. or more with Saybolt Universal viscosity at 37.8°C less than 45 seconds. This variant contains more than 500 ppm sulfur, classifying it under HTS 2710.20.10.14 as a light fuel oil blended with biodiesel and meeting the petroleum oil content requirements.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not containing biodiesel
Products without biodiesel fall under the general petroleum distillate subheading excluding biodiesel blends.
If containing 500 ppm sulfur or less
Lower sulfur content light fuel oils are classified in the subheading for ≤500 ppm sulfur variants.
If viscosity 45 seconds SUS or higher
Higher viscosity distillates shift to the medium/heavy fuel oil subheadings regardless of sulfur.
