Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If no biodiesel content
Pure kerosene without biodiesel falls under other kerosene subheadings in 2710.19, as this code specifies preparations containing biodiesel.
If biodiesel exceeds 30% by weight
Biodiesel-dominant mixtures may classify as biodiesel preparations under Chapter 38 rather than petroleum oil-based under 2710.
If for motor fuel blending stock
If intended for motor fuel blending, it shifts to a different kerosene subheading excluding biodiesel preparations.
