Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If without biodiesel and higher viscosity
Non-biodiesel No. 4 oils go to 2710.19; viscosity >125 SUS shifts subheading
If primarily for road motor vehicles
Gasoline/motor oils (even low sulfur) classify under 2709 if intended for vehicle engines
If lubricating oil preparations
If marketed/functionally as lubricants rather than fuel, shifts to lubricating oil subheadings

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit ASTM D396-compliant test reports for viscosity, API gravity, and sulfur to avoid misclassification
• Confirm biodiesel derivation from Chapter 27 note (mono-alkyl esters) with supplier affidavits
