About heading 2709

Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, crude

Heading 2709 covers crude petroleum oils and crude oils obtained from bituminous minerals, meaning unrefined oils as they come from the well or separator. The heading is split first by density: oils testing under 25 degrees A.P.I. go in one line and oils testing 25 degrees A.P.I. or more go in another. The higher-gravity group is split again between condensate derived wholly from natural gas and all other crude oils.
