U.S. imports of fuel oil (End-Use 10010) totaled $1.8B in July 2026, traded with 54 countries.
Importers of Fuel Oil paid $648K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 0.1% on $856.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataResidual and distillate fuel oils, tracked under end-use code 10010, serve as primary energy inputs for power generation, marine bunkering, and industrial heating applications. The IMO 2020 sulfur cap on marine fuels has reshaped global fuel oil trade flows, pushing demand toward low-sulfur variants and creating distinct pricing tiers between compliant and non-compliant grades. Importers sourcing fuel oil should be attentive to sulfur specification requirements, which vary by end-use sector and jurisdiction, and can affect both admissibility and downstream blending economics.

Since January 2020, the International Maritime Organization limits sulfur content in marine fuels to 0.5% globally (0.1% in Emission Control Areas). This has bifurcated the fuel oil import market: high-sulfur fuel oil (HSFO) is largely restricted to vessels with scrubbers, while very low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO) commands a premium and dominates compliant bunkering demand.
End-use code 10010 captures fuel oils specifically — residual and heavy distillate products used for combustion — while refined products such as gasoline, jet fuel, and lubricants fall under the separate 'Other Petroleum Products' category (10020). The distinction matters for energy market analysis and for matching import data to downstream sector consumption.
