In 2000, world crude oil imports were 39,507.6 kbd, that of India were 1,510.4 kbd, that of China were 1,409.2 kbd while that of US were 9,071.0 kbd. Thus India's imports were larger than that of China. However, between 2000 and 2024, China's imports grew 7.86 times while that of India grew 3.17 times, whereas US imports declined, having peaked at ~ 10,000 kbd (~10 million b/d) during 2004-2007. After 2007, as shale oil production grew, US imports have been steadily falling

(Source: US EIA STEO December 2025)
US is unique, in that it is simultaneously a large importer as also an exporter of crude oil (approx 6.6 million b/d of imports and 4.1 million b/d of exports in 2024, or net imports of 2.5 million b/d), and a large net exporter of petroleum products. We pick up a rather large Table from US EIA's December 2025 STEO, titled, "U.S. Petroleum and Other Liquids Supply, Consumption, and Inventories", and take the yearly 2024 numbers (3rd column from right) to explain the US system
US total crude oil production was 13.23 million b/d, Total Supply was 20.46 million b/d, including this crude oil production and several other line items, and a matching number of 20.46 million b/d as U.S. total petroleum products consumption
The major headings under Total Supply are: Crude oil input to refineries (16.23 mn b/d) / Refinery processing gain (0.97 mn b/d) / Natural Gas Plant Liquids Production 7.04 mn b/d) / Renewables and oxygenate production (1.38 mn b/d) / Petroleum products adjustment (0.22 mn b/d) / Petroleum products transfers to crude oil supply (-0.61 mn b/d) / Petroleum product net imports (-4.77 mn b/d / Petroleum product inventory net withdrawals (0.01 mn b/d)
The major headings under U.S. total petroleum products consumption are: Hydrocarbon gas liquids (3.74 mn b/d) / Other hydrocarbons and oxygenates (0.33 mn b/d) / Motor gasoline 8.97 mn b/d) / Jet fuel (1.69 mn b/d) / Distillate fuel oil (3.79 mn b/d) / Residual fuel oil (0.29 mn b/d) / Other oils (1.65 mn b/d)
Net imports of -2.27 mn b/d (meaning net exports) equal crude oil net imports of +2.49 mn b/d and Petroleum product net imports of -4.77 mn b/d
