U.S. imports of crude petroleum & bituminous mineral oils (HS 270900) totaled $13.9B in April 2026, traded with 27 countries.

Last updated: April 2026 data

API gravity is the primary classification axis under this heading: heavy crude testing below 25 degrees API falls under 2709001000, while lighter grades at 25 degrees or above—including natural-gas condensate (2709002010)—are captured in separate lines. Canada is by far the dominant supplier to the US market, followed by Mexico and Saudi Arabia, with Guyana emerging as a growing source. Importers must track both API gravity and origin carefully, as crude streams are frequently blended at terminals, which can affect classification and any applicable duty treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does API gravity affect the classification of imported crude oil under HTS 270900?

The US tariff schedule splits crude petroleum into heavy grades testing under 25 degrees API (2709001000) and lighter grades at 25 degrees or above (2709002090), with a separate line for condensate derived wholly from natural gas (2709002010). Accurate API testing at the point of entry is essential to ensure correct classification.

Which countries are the leading suppliers of crude oil to the United States?

Canada is the dominant source of US crude imports under this heading, with Mexico and Saudi Arabia also ranking among the top suppliers. Guyana and Colombia round out the leading origins, reflecting both geographic proximity and long-term supply agreements.
