Customs code · HS subheading 2710 12

Final code reached

Light petroleum or bituminous-mineral oil for chemical conversion

Meeting the 90% distillation condition and not containing biodiesel

This is a complete 8-digit customs code. Exports and Intrastat use it as it is. For an import into the EU the declaration uses 2710 12 15 00: this code with 00 added.

This code covers light oils extracted from petroleum or crude oils derived from bituminous minerals when they are intended for chemical conversion. They must distil at least 90% by volume, including losses, at 210 °C under ASTM D 86, and must not be for treatment by the specified processes or contain biodiesel.

For example

  • Light oil extracted from petroleum for chemical conversion, distilling at least 90% by volume including losses at 210 °C under ASTM D 86 and not containing biodiesel
  • Light oil extracted from crude oil derived from bituminous minerals for chemical conversion, distilling at least 90% by volume including losses at 210 °C under ASTM D 86 and not containing biodiesel

Before you use the code

Check the facts that sit outside the code

The code can be right while what you pay still changes, because of where the goods come from, when they arrive, or extra EU measures.

Classify your own product, free Look up the current rates and rules
  1. The product and its form Check that your product really matches this description, including what it is made of and the form it arrives in.
  2. Country of origin Trade agreements, sanctions and extra measures can change the treatment of the very same code.
  3. Current tariff measures Check today's rate, any restrictions or licences, and the quantity customs asks for, with Toldstyrelsen or TARIC.

On an import declaration

2710 12 15 00

When these goods are imported into the EU, the declaration uses the 10-digit form 2710121500: this code with 00 added. There is no further split under it.

Duty suspension: 0% for ships, boats and drilling platforms

Conditions apply, customs authorisation needed.

Look this line up in the EU tariff

A suspension is a lower rate the EU grants for specific products; whether your goods qualify depends on the line's wording and conditions.

Exports from the EU and Intrastat normally use the 8-digit code as it is.

Read the signals first. Open only the ones you want to check.

Besides the ordinary duty, the EU records these kinds of measure against this code. They are listed as signals only: whether one applies to your goods can depend on where they come from, who produced them, the exact product and the documents you present. No amounts are worked out here.
