U.S. exports of light petroleum oils & preparations (not containing biodiesel) (HS 271012) totaled $4.6B in July 2026.
Importers of Light Petroleum Oils & Preparations (Not Containing Biodiesel) paid $3.8M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 0.4% on $987.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataPetroleum-derived light oils and blending stocks — including gasoline, naphtha-type jet fuel, reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending (RBOB), and natural gasoline — are classified here when they contain at least 70% petroleum or bituminous mineral oils by weight and exclude biodiesel. The US 10-digit schedule is exceptionally granular, with separate lines for leaded gasoline (2710121510), reformulated unleaded gasoline (2710121514), naphtha-type jet fuel (2710121520), RBOB (2710121805), and renewable fuel blends (2710124560), among others. Canada is the dominant import source, reflecting integrated North American refining infrastructure, with India, the Netherlands, and South Korea also supplying refined product. EPA fuel-quality standards and Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) compliance obligations apply at the point of importation.

Classification depends on the product's specific composition and intended use: RBOB (reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending) falls under 2710121805, while other motor fuel blending stocks excluding RBOB fall under 2710121890, and naphthas not used as motor fuel or blending stock fall under 2710122500. Laboratory analysis and product specification sheets are essential, and a binding ruling from CBP is advisable for novel or ambiguous blending stocks.
Importers of gasoline and blending components must register with the EPA as importers under the Renewable Fuel Standard and comply with fuel quality standards under the Clean Air Act. RBOB and finished gasoline imports require RFS compliance documentation, and importers may need to acquire or retire Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) depending on the product and volume.
