In 2025, the US exported more crude oil and petroleum products than it imported.

Crude oil is a fossil fuel that can be refined into petroleum products such as jet fuel and gasoline. The US used to consistently import more petroleum and crude oil than it exported. But exports exceeded imports starting in October 2019. It’s been a net exporter in all but seven months since then.

In 2025, the US exported 35% more oil than it imported.

Of all petroleum exports, 37% was crude oil.

Of the petroleum and crude oil that the US imported in 2025, the majority was from Canada. The top five exporters to the US were:
Canada (57%)
Mexico (6%)
Saudi Arabia (4%)
Iraq (3%)
Brazil (3%)
The remaining 27% came from 63 other countries, territories, or other areas of special sovereignty.
