Core fuel categories made up about 14.0% of Taiwan’s WTO-profile import bill.
Taiwan’s core fuel imports were a material share of its goods import bill in 2024. Four clearly identified energy categories summed to about US$50.4bn, equal to roughly 14.0% of the WTO-profile import total. The definition is conservative and does not claim to capture every mineral or energy-related item.
Energy share sums four HS items visible in the WTO profile: crude oil, LNG, coal and medium oils. The denominator is the WTO profile’s total import value for Chinese Taipei in 2024.
This is a conservative core-fuel share, not the full MOF mineral-products category. Use the MOF mineral-products table if the page must show that broader definition.
