Japan's Iran crude imports fall 36.4 pct y/y in March

>

Iranian crude imports fell 22.4 percent in the fiscal year ended in March, the data showed.

The world's third-biggest oil consumer is trying to comply with U.S. demands to curb purchases from Iran.

The United States last month exempted Japan and 10 EU nations from financial sanctions citing their efforts to significantly cut purchases, while Iran's top customers China and India remain at risk of such steps.
