Finland: crude oil and fuel imports since 2015
Counted by the country the cargo was shipped from, as customs record it. Transit hubs such as the Netherlands therefore appear as sources; for crude oil, the default view counts by the country of production instead.
In 2020, Finland imported 11.4 million tonnes of crude oil, most from Russia (81%), Norway (16%) and the United Kingdom (3%). Its refined-product imports were 3.7 million tonnes, most from Sweden (45%), Russia (31%) and the Netherlands (10%).

Counted by the country the cargo was shipped from, as customs record it. Transit hubs such as the Netherlands therefore appear as sources; for crude oil, the default view counts by the country of production instead.
Yearly figures are the sum of the published monthly tonnes over the months with a published figure; shares are each origin’s tonnes over that sum. A month that is not published is left out and listed, never counted as zero, and a month counts as “reported none” only where the zero is confirmed. The part of the published totals the publisher did not attribute to a country is shown as “cannot be traced”. Refined products are seven product families (road diesel, petrol, jet fuel, heating and other gasoil, fuel oil, naphtha, LPG); other products such as bitumen and lubricants are not included.
The chart draws each month’s shares as a 3-month average over the months with figures in each window. A month that is not published is a hatched band labelled “Not published”, and a confirmed zero a plain band labelled “No imports reported”; neither is ever filled in or averaged over.
Crude oil, 2020
CalculatedFinland has not published crude oil import tonnes by origin for every month since January 2023. This page shows the published tonnes only; the country page and the flow diagram also show estimates made from the euro values it does publish.
