Methodology & source
Eurostat Comext DS-045409; monthly EU27_2020 IMPORT (1), CN8 85447000, EXT_EU27_2020. Official aggregates alone determine headlines and share denominators. Eligible identified partner observations determine rankings. Original QUANTITY_IN_100KG is retained separately; normalized kg already equals the original value multiplied by 100 once. Missing values remain blank. Top 3 and Top 5 are sums of identified supplier shares in matching official totals. All calculations use the frozen approved extraction.
2026 figures currently cover January through June. Trade statistics may be revised by Eurostat after initial publication. No total-market size is inferred.
