HS Code 27 Mineral fuels, mineral oils and products of their distillation; bituminous substances; mineral waxes

The HS Code 27 is described as
Mineral fuels, mineral oils and products of their distillation; bituminous substances; mineral waxes

Description
Mineral Fuels, Mineral Oils and Products of Their Distillation;
Bituminous Substances; Mineral Waxes

Notes

1. This chapter does not cover:

(a). Separate chemically defined organic compounds, other than
pure methane and propane which are to be classified in
heading 2711;

(b). Medicaments of heading 3003 or 3004; or

(c). Mixed unsaturated hydrocarbons of heading 3301, 3302 or 3805.

2. References in heading 2710 to "petroleum oils and oils obtained
from bituminous minerals" include not only petroleum oils and
oils obtained from bituminous minerals, but also similar oils,
as well as those consisting mainly of mixed unsaturated hydro-
carbons, obtained by any process, provided that the weight of
the nonaromatic constituents exceeds that of the aromatic
constituents. However, the references do not include liquid
synthetic polyolefins of which less than 60 percent by volume
distills at 300 degrees C, after conversion to 1,013 millibars
when a reduced-pressure distillation method is used (chapter 39).

3. For the purposes of heading 2710, "waste oils" means waste
containing mainly petroleum oils and oils obtained from
bituminous minerals (as described in note 2 to this chapter),
whether or not mixed with water. These include:

(a). Such oils no longer fit for use as primary products (for
example, used lubricating oils, used hydraulic oils and used
transformer oils);

(b). Sludge oils from the storage tanks of petroleum oils, mainly
containing such oils and a high concentration of additives
(for example, chemicals) used in the manufacture of the
primary products; and

(c). Such oils in the form of emulsions in water or mixtures with
water, such as those resulting from oil spills, storage tank
washings, or from the use of cutting oils for machining
operations.

Subheading Notes

1. For the purposes of subheading 2701.11, "anthracite" means coal
having a volatile matter limit (on a dry, mineral-matter-free
basis) not exceeding 14 percent.

2. For the purposes of subheading 2701.12, "bituminous coal" means
coal having a volatile matter limit (on a dry, mineral-matter-
free basis) exceeding 14 percent and a calorific value limit
(on a moist, mineral-matter-free basis) equal to or greater
than 5,833 kcal/kg.

3. For the purposes of subheadings 2707.10, 2707.20, 2707.30,
2707.40 and 2707.60, the terms "benzene," "toluene," "xylene,"
"naphthalene" and "phenols" apply to products which contain
more than 50 percent by weight of benzene, toluene, xylenes,
naphthalene or phenols, respectively.

4. For the purposes of subheading 2710.11, "light oils and pre-
parations" are those of which 90 percent or more by volume
(including losses) distill at 210 øC (ASTM D 86 method).

Statistical Notes

1. For the purpose of heading 2710, "petroleum oils" includes only
products having:

(a). A Congealing Point (ASTM D 938) of less than 30 degrees C; or

(b). If the Congealing Point is not less than 30 degrees C:

(i). a density at 70 degrees C of less than 0.942 and a
Worked Cone Penetration (ASTM D 217) or a Cone
Penetration (ASTM D 937) at 25 degrees C of not less
than 350; or

(ii). if the density at 70 degrees C is not less than 0.942
having a Needle Penetration (ASTM D 5) at 25 degrees
C of not less than 400.

2. For the purpose of subheading 2710.11.15, "motor fuel" is any
product derived primarily from petroleum, shale or natural gas,
whether or not containing additives, which is principally used
as a fuel in internal-combustion or other engines.

3. For the purpose of subheadings 2710.11.18 and 2710.19.22,
"motor fuel blending stock" means any product (except naphthas
of subheading 2710.11.25) derived primarily from petroleum,
shale oil or natural gas, whether or not containing additives,
to be used for direct blending in the manufacture of motor fuel.

4. For the purposes of this chapter, the term barrel (bbl) means a
barrel of 158.98 liters (42 gallons) measured at 15.6 degrees C.

5. In determining the relative weights of components of the
mixtures provided for in subheading 2710.00.50, naphtha and
other petroleum derivatives which may be present in such
mixtures as solvents shall be disregarded.

6. For the purposes of heading 2716, the term "electrical energy"
does not include electrical energy transmitted as a medium of
communication.

7. For the purposes of heading 2711.11, the quantity of liquefied
natural gas shall be reported on a gaseous equivalent volume
basis.

8. Subheading 2712.10.00 does not include petroleum jelly,
suitable for use for the care of the skin, put up in packings
of a kind sold at retail for such use (subheading 3304.99.10).
