COMEXT — Eurostat
EU Import Partner Mix
Partner concentration and shift signals across SITC product sections. Source: Eurostat COMEXT dissemination API.
Trade data reflects the latest available Eurostat release, typically 2–3 months behind the current date.
The board · EU import shares by section (share of extra-EU imports)
Last 12 months, with the change versus the prior 12 months in points beneath. Darker = larger share. All twelve tracked partners are shown; "Other" is the untracked residual, which stays large for commodity sections (food, fuels) whose main suppliers, such as Brazil, Argentina or the Gulf, sit outside this manufacturing-focused partner set.

Who needs whom · the EU's top supplier per section, and how much it sells back
Bar length is the top partner's share of extra-EU imports; the colour is the coverage ratio (EU exports to that partner ÷ imports from it): <0.5 one-sided, 0.5–0.9 import-tilted, ≥0.9 balanced or surplus.
If-then · first-order counterfactuals on measured trade
Arithmetic on the last-12-months measured values only: no elasticities, no substitution dynamics, no general-equilibrium effects, no timeline. The counterfactual this data licenses is accounting, not prediction.
A 20% EU tariff on Machinery & transport imports from China taxes a measured base of €330.0bn (last 12 months): €66.0bn of first-order tariff incidence per year at current volumes. Who ultimately pays the split between exporter margins and EU buyers is a behavioural question this panel does not model.

Substitution pool as it stands today (not a forecast)
Base data: Eurostat COMEXT, last 12 months, refreshed monthly. Deeper counterfactuals (price pass-through, substitution behaviour) need identified models; where this site has one, it lives on the relations graph's cost trace, with its identification stated.
Source and method
Measured, reported trade statistics, frozen at the build-time snapshot. Partner-mix views aggregate reporters into partner groups (China, ASEAN-6, US, Japan, rest of world); unit values are value divided by net weight from the same records.
