Chapter 27: Mineral fuels, oils
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 271390 when importing or exporting residues of petroleum oils, such as petroleum coke or other by-products. For example, a shipment of petroleum coke used in aluminum production falls under this classification.
This code specifically targets residues from petroleum oils or oils derived from bituminous minerals. It differs from HS-6 271391, which covers petroleum bitumen, a more refined product used in road construction and roofing.
When deciding between HS-6 271390 and HS-6 271391, consider the product's end use. If you have a shipment of unrefined residues, stick with 271390. For processed bitumen, use 271391.
Understanding the nuances of these codes is crucial for compliance and accurate duty calculations. Ensure your product descriptions clearly reflect the type of residue to avoid classification issues.
