2710.19.11.02 - Containing not more than 15 ppm of sulfur

This HTS classification, 2710.19.11.02, specifically designates diesel fuels that meet stringent sulfur content limitations. It encompasses diesel oils characterized by their low sulfur content, defined as containing no more than 15 parts per million (ppm) of sulfur. These fuels are typically intended for use in compression-ignition internal combustion engines and are recognized for their cleaner-burning properties due to the minimal sulfur presence.

The critical distinguishing factor for this subcategory lies in its sulfur content. It is differentiated from its sibling categories, 2710.19.11.03 and 2710.19.11.04, which cover diesel oils with higher sulfur concentrations: more than 15 ppm but not more than 500 ppm, and more than 500 ppm, respectively. Therefore, accurate sulfur analysis is paramount for correct classification within this group.

As this classification node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The primary criteria for classifying a diesel oil under 2710.19.11.02 are its designation as diesel oil within the broader fuel oil category, its API gravity and viscosity falling within the parameters of lighter fuel oils, and most importantly, its sulfur content not exceeding 15 ppm.
