Notes:  ·  The country of origin for refined petroleum products may not be the country of origin for the
crude oil from which the refined products were produced.  For example, refined products imported from
refineries in the Caribbean may have been produced from Middle East crude oil.  ·  Net imports equal
imports minus exports.  Minus sign indicates exports are greater than imports.  ·  Data include any imports
for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which began in 1977.  ·  Totals may not equal sum of components
due to independent rounding.
