Last updated: April 2026 dataPetroleum in its unrefined state, classified under end-use code 10000, is the single largest import category by value in US trade data and feeds directly into domestic refinery operations. Crude grades vary significantly by API gravity and sulfur content, which determines refinery configuration compatibility and pricing differentials. Supply concentration among a handful of major producing nations makes this category acutely sensitive to geopolitical disruptions, OPEC+ production decisions, and pipeline or tanker logistics. Importers and analysts tracking this category should note that crude oil is subject to energy security policy considerations distinct from most other commodity groups.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Crude oil is differentiated by API gravity (light vs. heavy) and sulfur content (sweet vs. sour). These specifications determine which refinery configurations can process a given crude, directly influencing purchasing decisions, pricing benchmarks, and the origin mix a refiner will pursue.
Crude oil imports are not currently subject to Section 301 or antidumping measures, but they can be affected by energy-specific executive actions, sanctions regimes, and country-of-origin restrictions. Importers should monitor OFAC sanctions lists and any applicable energy security orders when sourcing from certain origins.
