Basis: energy statistics. All volumes are on the energy basis: the country where the oil was produced, as each EU member state reports its imports to Eurostat (dataset nrg_ti_oilm). "EU imports" is the sum of what the member states reported importing from everywhere, including from each other and the part they did not attribute to any country.

Switzerland's crude inside EU fuel
EstimatedBy our estimate, crude from Switzerland is most present in the road diesel of Slovakia (5%), Hungary (3%) and Czechia (less than 1%), as a share of the crude behind each country's road diesel in June 2026. This is an estimate built from trade and refinery statistics, not a reported figure.
Share: the estimated share of the crude behind each EU country’s fuel that came from Switzerland. All bars share one scale. Untraceable: the share of that country’s fuel whose crude cannot be traced to any origin.

Estimated with the fuel-chain look-through: exports are assumed to leave in proportion to supply, and each country’s refineries are assumed to run on its crude-import mix. Method version 1.5. Calculation lookthrough_v1 (1.5).
No CSV for this section: it is our estimate, served by the API with its method.
- "Inside EU fuel" is an estimate (one-level look-through, docs/HORMUZ_METHOD.md section 8), not a reported figure.
Strait of Hormuz route
OfficialEvery cited export point for Switzerland's crude and products is outside the Persian Gulf: none needs the Strait of Hormuz.
Export points held for Switzerland (1)

- Low. Where a country loads on both sides of the Strait, the split is not published, so only a range is given.
Crude and products: Switzerland is landlocked and has no seaborne loading point at all. The one cited site is the Varo Cressier refinery, 'Switzerland's only conventional fuel manufacturing facility', 72.5 kbd, classified at the refinery itself. The Strait of Hormuz is the sole outlet of the Persian Gulf, so the Hormuz-requiring share is 0 by geographic construction, not by estimate. Cited: varopreem.com. Method version 1.0.

- The Hormuz route describes where the partner loads oil, from cited reference data. Where it loads both inside and outside the Persian Gulf, the split is unknown and only a range is given.
