Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If blended with 5-70% petroleum diesel
Mixtures containing less than 70% by weight petroleum oils fall under subheading for biodiesel blends like B20.
If containing mainly petroleum oils
Products primarily composed of petroleum oils or bituminous materials are classified in heading 2710, not 3826.
If unprocessed vegetable oil esters not suitable as fuel
Raw or unfinished fatty acid esters not meeting biodiesel fuel specifications may classify under vegetable oils in Chapter 15.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify compliance with ASTM D6751 standards and provide certificate of analysis confirming B100 purity and no petroleum content
• Include feedstock origin documentation (e.g
• soybean oil) for RIN generation and biofuel incentive programs
• Avoid misclassification as mixtures by confirming <70% petroleum via lab testing; common pitfall is residual solvents
