2709.00.20.10 - Condensate derived wholly from natural gas

This HTS category, 2709.00.20.10, specifically covers condensates derived entirely from natural gas. These are liquid hydrocarbons that are recovered from the processing of natural gas. The key defining characteristic is their origin; they must be a direct byproduct of natural gas extraction and processing.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 2709.00.20.90 "Other," is crucial for accurate classification. While the "Other" category would encompass condensates derived from sources other than natural gas, or mixtures containing components not solely from natural gas, this specific code is reserved for products that meet the strict criterion of being wholly from natural gas. This distinction emphasizes the purity of the source material as the primary classification determinant.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 2709.00.20.10 hinges on confirming the origin of the condensate. Importers and exporters should ensure documentation clearly demonstrates the product's derivation solely from natural gas processing to correctly apply this specific HTS code.
