Overview

This HTS category, 2710.19.26.00, specifically classifies kerosene that is not intended for use as jet fuel. Kerosene, in this context, is a light petroleum distillate, typically characterized by its flammability and use as a fuel or solvent. Its primary applications include heating, lighting, and as a component in certain industrial processes. The classification hinges on its chemical composition and designated end-use, distinguishing it from other petroleum-based products.

It is crucial to differentiate this category from its siblings. While 2710.19.24.00 and 2710.19.25.00 cover motor fuels and motor fuel blending stocks, respectively, this category's scope is explicitly limited to kerosene not intended for automotive engines. The distinction lies in the primary purpose and refined specifications for each fuel type, ensuring accurate tariff application based on the intended commercial use.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification decisions within this HTS code will focus on whether the product meets the definition of kerosene and is specifically excluded from the definition of kerosene-type jet fuel. This requires careful consideration of any additive packages or specific distillation ranges that might indicate a different classification.
