How it moves
| Measure | Figure | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Share traded | roughly a quarter to a third of output (indicative, basis: EU imported 1.76 Mt HVO in 2025 and Singapore exports most of its output); no clean HS code isolates HVO | ||
| How it moves | Liquid in product tankers like diesel and jet; SAF moves neat to blending terminals and is certified at each step. | ||
| Routes and chokepoints | Singapore to Europe and North America; US Gulf to California and Europe; China to Europe and Singapore; Rotterdam hub for EU distribution. | ||
| India | India does not trade HVO or SAF in meaningful volumes; HS 271020 trade was negligible in 2024 (UN Comtrade). | ||
| Handling in transit | UN1202 (diesel-like, Class 3, PG III) for HVO; UN1863 for jet fuel blends (indicative). |
