Oil and gas trade data: HS codes, importers, and markets
CargoFax provides customs records for oil and gas products in eight markets. The main codes are crude oil (HS 2709), refined fuels (HS 2710), LNG and LPG (HS 2711), petroleum coke and bitumen (HS 2713), casing and line pipe (HS 7304, 7305, 7306), and drilling machinery (HS 8430 and 8431). Fuel distributors, oilfield suppliers, and energy traders search these codes in Atlas Explorer. Declared values come from customs records in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Colombia, Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru. CargoFax US bill of lading records measure crude and fuels as mineral fuels (HS 27), by weight and shipments. US values come from US Census statistics.

Can I analyze US crude oil imports by HS 2709 in CargoFax?
Not on CargoFax US bill of lading records from March 2026 onward. In March 2026, CargoFax changed how it assigns HS codes to US bills of lading. Since then, HS 2709 understates US crude oil imports.

Do CargoFax US export records include fuels?
