Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If suitable for use as diesel engine fuel after minimal treatment
Usable distillate fuels classify under diesel fuel provisions, not waste.
If when blended with heavy residuals dropping API below 25°
API gravity determines split between light (2710.99.10) and heavy waste oils.
If chemically treated as biodiesel blend waste
Biodiesel-containing wastes may fall under chemical preparations if >70% non-petroleum.

Waste Automotive Motor Oil (API 30)
Used motor oil collected from drained car engines, testing at 30 degrees API, classified as waste distillate fuel oil under HTS 2710.99.10.00 due to its petroleum base and API gravity meeting the threshold. It contains over 70% petroleum oils and is unsuitable for further refining without treatment.
Waste Kerosene from Aviation Storage (API 35)
Contaminated kerosene from aircraft fueling systems, testing 35 degrees API, imported as waste distillate fuel oil per HTS 2710.99.10.00 due to its light distillate profile and waste status. Typically reprocessed for industrial burners.
Waste Home Heating Oil (API 29)
Spent No. 2 heating oil from residential tanks, testing 29 degrees API, falls under HTS 2710.99.10.00 as waste distillate fuel oil due to contamination making it unusable without re-refining. Common in Northeast US oil recycling streams.
Recycled Waste Lube Distillate (API 32)
Distillate fraction from used lubricating oil re-refining, 32 degrees API, as waste oil under HTS 2710.99.10.00 before final processing. Represents intermediate recycling stream.
Waste Marine Bunker Fuel Light (API 26)
Light distillate bunker fuel waste from ship engine rooms, 26 degrees API, HTS 2710.99.10.00 for marginal API compliance as waste distillate. From bilge cleaning operations.
