Israel is a net importer of fuel.
This means that Israel imports or buys more fuel from other countries than it sells or exports.
According to data from the World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS), throughout 2021 Israel exported fuels worth US$5.09 billion.
In the same year, its imports reached US$9.13 billion, approximately 80% higher.
This figure includes all fuel commodity transactions with HS code 27, namely fossil fuels such as petroleum, natural gas, coal, and various derivatives.
However, in 2021, about 85% of fuel supplies to Israel were unspecified regarding their origin.
Among the recorded shippers, the largest importer was Switzerland, with transactions worth approximately US$612 million.
Other countries recorded as major fuel suppliers to Israel are Singapore, the United Kingdom, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Spain, Belgium, Malta, and Germany, with import values as shown in the graph.
WITS compiles this data from various sources, including reports from the Israeli government, the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the United Nations (UN) statistics and trade divisions.
