Trade overview

Algeria's trade profile with the United States is dominated by hydrocarbons — crude oil and liquefied natural gas have historically been the primary exports — though volumes have fluctuated with global energy markets and US domestic production shifts. Beyond energy, Algeria's export base to the US is relatively narrow, limiting diversification opportunities for importers. Trade professionals should be aware that US sanctions and export control frameworks can affect certain transactions involving Algeria.
