I was reviewing Canada's imports of crude and refined petroleum and your data set excludes Saudi Arabia, which is the second largest source of petroleum imports in Canada as this article describes (data from Statistics Canada).

How do you verify the accuracy of your data? This is the second information I searched for and it is incorrect.

It does look wrong according to that article @NeuroApper . Interestingly in 2016 it shows $1.1bn of crude from Saudi Arabia to Canada, going up to $2bn in 2014 https://oec.world/en/visualize/tree_map/hs92/import/can/show/2709/2016/
Perhaps this is an accounting "artifact" where the crude is bought through a subsidiary in US so counts towards that countries total?
