HS Code 2710.19 – Petroleum oils and oils from bituminous minerals, not containing biodiesel, not crude, not waste oils; preparations n.e.c, containing by weight 70% or more of petroleum oils or oils from bituminous minerals; not light oils and preparations

HS code 2710.19 is the 6-digit subheading for petroleum oils and oils from bituminous minerals, not containing biodiesel, not crude, not waste oils, preparations n.e.c, containing by weight 70% or more of petroleum oils or oils from bituminous minerals, not light oils and preparations. It is used for diesel fuel, heating oil, marine fuel oil, lubricating oils and heavy fuel oil.

What HS 2710.19 covers

This HS code covers petroleum oils and preparations that are not light oils, not containing biodiesel, not crude, and not waste oils, containing 70% or more by weight of petroleum oils or oils from bituminous minerals. This broad category includes a wide range of refined products such as diesel fuel, heating oil, marine fuel oil (bunker fuel), and various lubricating oils. These products are crucial for heavy transportation, industrial machinery, power generation, and heating. The global trade involves complex supply chains, with major refining centers exporting to diverse markets. Demand is driven by industrial activity, shipping, and seasonal heating needs. Quality specifications, such as sulfur content, are critical for compliance and performance.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
