U.S. exports of Petroleum Oils & Bituminous Mineral Oils (Non-Crude, 70%+ Oil Content, NES) (SITC 33460) totaled $15.5B in August 2026.
Importers of Petroleum Oils & Bituminous Mineral Oils (Non-Crude, 70%+ Oil Content, NES) paid $8.2M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 0.16% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataRefined and semi-refined petroleum-based products containing 70% or more by weight of petroleum or bituminous mineral oils fall here when not elsewhere specified and not waste oils. The residual "NES" scope makes classification particularly nuanced — importers must confirm the product is not more specifically described under lubricating oils, fuel oils, or other named petroleum fractions before applying this heading. These products serve as blending stocks, process fluids, and specialty industrial inputs across refining, chemical manufacturing, and metalworking sectors.

This heading is a residual category — it applies only when the product contains 70% or more petroleum or bituminous mineral oil by weight, is not a waste oil, and is not more specifically described elsewhere in the SITC schedule (e.g., as a lubricating oil, fuel oil, or named fraction). Classification should be confirmed with a licensed customs broker, as misclassification between petroleum headings is a common audit trigger.
Importers generally need a detailed product specification sheet confirming oil content by weight, a certificate of origin, and a commercial invoice describing the product's end use. If the product could be characterized as a fuel, EPA Tier 3 fuel standards or other environmental compliance documentation may also be required depending on intended use.
