Overview

This HTS category, 2710.12.18.05, specifically covers Reformulated Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending (RBOB). RBOB is a specialized petroleum distillate intended for use as a component in the production of finished motor fuels, particularly gasoline, that must meet certain environmental specifications. Its primary characteristic is its suitability for blending with oxygenates, such as ethanol, to create a compliant fuel that reduces emissions.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 2710.12.18.90 "Other," is crucial. While both fall under "Motor fuel blending stock," 2710.12.18.05 is reserved for the specific RBOB blendstock. The "Other" category would encompass any motor fuel blending stocks that do not meet the defined criteria for RBOB, such as different types of light distillates or components not formulated for oxygenate blending.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 2710.12.18.05. The classification is final at this level, with the defining characteristic being the product's specific formulation and intended use as RBOB for oxygenate blending in the production of motor fuels.
