Carbon Dioxide

Imported carbon dioxide enters the US under a single tariff line, 2811210000, serving industrial gas applications ranging from food and beverage carbonation and dry-ice production to supercritical extraction and enhanced oil recovery. Israel leads US import supply under this heading, with Canada and Taiwan also among the top sources — an unusual supplier profile that reflects specialty-grade or high-purity CO₂ demand rather than bulk commodity flows. Purity specifications and container type (cylinders, bulk tankers, or dewars) are critical commercial variables that affect both pricing and logistics.
