What heading 2709 covers: crude petroleum oils
Crude means the oil has come out of the ground and has not yet been turned into finished fuels or other oil products. Think of oil straight from the well, before a refinery touches it.
The heading also takes in oils obtained from bituminous minerals. These are rocks that hold oil. If the oil from such rock is still crude, it goes here too. Once it is processed, it moves to a different heading.
You may see the same heading called HSN code 2709 or HTS code 2709. The label changes with the country, but the first six digits are shared worldwide. So crude petroleum oils carry the same base number on customs forms almost everywhere.
Mineral oils are a wide family, and Chapter 27 holds all of them. Only the crude form is placed in 2709.
2709 vs 2710, 2711 and 2714: choosing the right code
Most mistakes happen between neighbouring headings. Ask two simple questions. Is the product an oil, or is it a gas or a solid? And if it is an oil, is it still crude? The list below shows where each kind of product belongs.
Duty and GST are not set at heading level. Each country adds its own rates above the six-digit code, so check the national tariff before you ship. If you are unsure about a product, try the classifier.
