Japan Energy Trade

Trade by Partner

Monthly customs values for one fuel, for the world and for any partners you pick. Cargo timing and the oil price move a single month by a wide margin, so the second view sums a trailing twelve months; the third reads the same figures as each supplier's share of the world total, and the fourth divides value by quantity to give an average landed price per kilolitre or per tonne.

Partners

Source Mix Over Time

The same fuel, read as a mix rather than a level. Each band is a partner's share of the world total over a trailing twelve months, so a single cargo does not read as a change in the mix. Partners outside the five largest are bundled into one disclosed residual, never dropped, and the bands sum to 100% in every month.

Crude, Gas, Coal and Refined Products

World totals for every fuel published in this direction, on trailing twelve-month sums. The fuels are priced on different markets and move at different times, which is the point of reading them together. The mineral-fuel total and the lines beneath it are both shown and must not be added: the Ministry publishes fuels inside the total that are not carried here, so the total is always larger than the lines listed under it.

Partner Detail

Every partner the Ministry publishes for this fuel and direction, on the latest month. Values and quantities are official customs figures; growth, the twelve-month total and the share are calculated from them. The Ministry's non-country entries — goods shipped to order, unknown origins and bonded areas — are part of the world total and are listed with the rest, marked as not being places.
