Trade overview

Equatorial Guinea is a small Central African nation whose US trade profile is dominated by hydrocarbons — crude oil and liquefied natural gas account for the overwhelming share of exports to the United States. Importers sourcing petroleum products from Equatorial Guinea should be aware of OFAC compliance screening requirements and the country's membership in OPEC, which can influence production quotas and supply availability. Non-oil exports, including timber and cocoa, represent a minor but growing segment of bilateral trade.
