About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This classification covers crude petroleum oils that, when tested, exhibit an American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity of 25 degrees or more. Crude oil is a naturally occurring, unrefined petroleum product consisting of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons. The 25 degrees API gravity threshold is a key physical characteristic used to distinguish these lighter, more valuable crude oils from heavier ones.

This category is distinct from sibling category 2709.00.20.10, which specifically covers condensate derived wholly from natural gas. While both may be considered types of crude oil or related hydrocarbons, condensate from natural gas is a separate product with a different origin and composition, even if it meets the API gravity requirement.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies entirely on meeting the described physical characteristic: testing at 25 degrees API or more. This designation ensures that oils with a specific viscosity and density profile, generally indicative of a higher yield of valuable refined products like gasoline and diesel, are correctly categorized.
