Data note
HS 1518 covers processed animal and vegetable fats and oils not elsewhere specified, including used cooking oil (UCO) derivatives. It is used here as a proxy for biodiesel feedstock trade flows into the EU. US and rest-of-world partners returned no data for this commodity code against EU reporter 97.
Source and method
Measured trade statistics, frozen at the build-time snapshot. HS 1518 is a feedstock PROXY: the heading covers chemically modified fats and oils used mainly as biodiesel feedstock, so partner shares read as feedstock-supply signals, not as certified biofuel volumes. Partner dominance statements on this page are computed from these records.
