European Union - Yellow Grease or Used Vegetable Oil for Biodiesel

Last Modified: March 27, 2024

The European Union does not currently have harmonized requirements for the import of yellow grease (used cooking oil) for the production of biodiesel. The individual importing country decides whether or not to allow the import, and if so establishes requirements. These imports are not under Regulation (EU) 142/2011.

For information APHIS has confirmed regarding individual EU country requirements (including if the country allows the import),  Visit Export Animal Products and select the country to export from the dropdown menu.
