Alternative Classifications

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

2710.20.10Same rate: 25%

If No. 2 or lighter distillate viscosity

Lower viscosity fuels like No. 2 diesel classify in lighter distillate subheadings.

3826.00.10.00Higher: 39.6% vs 25%

If <70% petroleum oils with additives dominating

Preparations where additives exceed 30% petroleum oils move to biodiesel mixtures in Chapter 38.

2710.19Lower: 17% vs 25%

If lubricating base oils rather than fuel

Products intended for lubrication rather than combustion fall under lubricating oil provisions.

Import Tips & Compliance

Submit Saybolt viscosity and API gravity test results from accredited labs to validate No. 4 specifications

Label containers clearly with sulfur content and biodiesel ratio to facilitate CBP examination

Check state-level sulfur regulations that may require additional filtration post-import
