Overview

HTS Code 2710 encompasses a broad range of petroleum and bituminous mineral-derived oils that are not in their crude state, as well as preparations where these oils are the primary constituent. This category is specifically for oils and mixtures that have undergone some level of processing beyond initial extraction. It's crucial to distinguish this from crude petroleum oils, which are classified elsewhere. Preparations within 2710 are defined by having 70% or more of petroleum oils or oils from bituminous minerals as their basic component, and are not specifically covered by other HTS headings.

This section within Chapter 27, "Mineral fuels, mineral oils and products of their distillation; bituminous substances; mineral waxes," focuses on processed oils. Unlike sibling categories which might cover raw materials or entirely different product groups (e.g., live animals in Chapter 01), 2710 is dedicated to refined or derived oil products. It is important to note that waste oils are also addressed within this primary heading, indicating a specific sub-classification for recovered and reprocessed oils.

The subcategories under 2710 provide crucial distinctions for classification. The first major subdivision covers petroleum oils and preparations (excluding those containing biodiesel and waste oils) that are refined or derived from bituminous minerals and serve as the primary ingredient. A separate subcategory, 2710.20, specifically addresses similar oils and preparations but crucially includes those containing biodiesel. Finally, a distinct subcategory is dedicated to "Waste oils," which are oils that have been used and are intended for recovery or reprocessing. These distinctions are vital for accurate tariff application based on the specific composition and nature of the oil product.
