U.S. exports of petroleum oils & preparations containing biodiesel (HS 271020) totaled $150.8M in July 2026, traded with 4 countries.
Last updated: July 2026 dataBlended petroleum products that contain biodiesel occupy a dedicated heading separate from their non-biodiesel counterparts, reflecting the US schedule's policy of tracking renewable-content fuels distinctly for both tariff and statistical purposes. The four 10-digit lines cover heavy fuel oils below 25 degrees API (2710200550), kerosene-type jet and motor fuels with biodiesel content (2710201500), and kerosene blends (2710202500), in addition to a general catch-all line (2710200000). South Korea is the leading import source, with France and Denmark also among the top suppliers — a European presence that reflects the EU's established biodiesel production infrastructure. Importers should confirm the biodiesel percentage in the blend, as the threshold for classification here versus the non-biodiesel heading can be a point of customs scrutiny.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Customs will expect a certificate of analysis or blending specification confirming that the product contains biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters derived from vegetable or animal origin). A commercial invoice describing the blend ratio and a product data sheet identifying the biodiesel component are standard supporting documents. Without this evidence, CBP may reclassify the shipment under the non-biodiesel petroleum heading.
France and Denmark rank among the top suppliers partly because the EU has long-established biodiesel production capacity and blending mandates, making European refiners experienced exporters of standardized biodiesel blends. South Korea, the leading source, has invested heavily in refinery upgrading that includes biodiesel blending for export markets. Importers sourcing from these origins should verify that blend specifications meet US fuel standards, as European biodiesel norms (EN 14214) differ from ASTM standards used domestically.
