Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If viscosity exceeding 125 SUS
Heavier viscosity pushes classification to No. 5 or 6-type residual fuels.
If electrical energy component included
Hybrid fuel-energy products may fall under electrical energy heading per Chapter notes.
If lubricity-enhanced with >30% non-petroleum lubes
Significant lubricant additives shift to Chapter 34 lubricating preparations.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content analysis for biodiesel verification
• Use temperature-compensated density measurements for accurate API gravity declaration
• Monitor for sediment/water content to prevent pipeline rejection during transport
