U.S. imports of waste oils containing pcbs, pcts, or pbbs (HS 271091) totaled $9K in December 2024, traded with 2 countries.
Last updated: December 2024 dataClassified by the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated terphenyls (PCTs), or polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), these waste oils are among the most tightly regulated petroleum-derived imports in the US schedule. The two tariff lines distinguish between waste oils with PCB concentrations at or above 50 mg/kg (2710910010) and those containing PCTs or PBBs where PCB levels fall below that threshold (2710910050). EPA regulates PCB-containing materials under TSCA, and importers must comply with applicable TSCA import certification and disposal requirements before entry is permitted.

The EPA administers PCB regulations under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Importers of PCB-containing waste oils must comply with TSCA import certification requirements and applicable PCB disposal rules; shipments may be subject to EPA review and restrictions depending on concentration levels.
Waste oils with PCB concentrations at or above 50 mg/kg are classified under 2710910010, while waste oils containing PCTs or PBBs—but with PCB levels below 50 mg/kg—fall under 2710910050. Accurate laboratory analysis of contaminant concentrations is therefore essential for correct classification and regulatory compliance.
