Russia supplied 112k b/d, or 38%, of Taiwan’s imported petroleum products in 2025.
The refined-product mix shows a different exposure from crude oil. Russia led Taiwan’s 2025 petroleum-product imports, while the United Arab Emirates and South Korea followed at much smaller volumes. EIA links the 2025 increase to higher naphtha imports from Russia. That makes this chart useful for petrochemical feedstock and sanctions-context analysis.
