JP54 aviation kerosene

Not an internationally traded specification. There is no JP54 grade. "Grade 54" is a Colonial Pipeline fungible batch code for domestic US aviation kerosene, not a fuel quality anyone can load against at a foreign port. The aviation fuel that moves in international trade is Jet A-1.

What to ask for instead

If you have been offered this, here is what will actually get you a quotation.

01 For civil aviation turbine fuel, ask for Jet A-1 to DEF STAN 91-091 or ASTM D1655
02 Ask which JIG-certified terminal the fuel is held in and who the into-plane supplier is
03 Ask for the refinery certificate of quality and the recertification record

Before you enquire

JP-4, JP-5 and JP-8 are real military grades. JP54 is not one of them and never was. Colonial Pipeline does schedule a Grade 54 aviation kerosene in its own product code manual, and that is where the number was borrowed from — but it is a batch code inside one US pipeline system, not an export specification, and no cargo anywhere is contracted on it. The term reaches the rest of the world almost exclusively through fraudulent offer emails, usually alongside a refinery allocation and a request for a bank comfort letter. Genuine Jet A-1 moves through an auditable chain of certified terminals, because nobody is willing to be the party who put unrecertified fuel into an aircraft. We quote Jet A-1 against a refinery certificate of quality and independent inspection at load, and nothing else.
