On a pure dollar basis for 2006, it is definitely oil.
This occasionally is NOT the top import, however, depending on what oil prices are doing - as imports are measured on a cost basis, not a volume basis.

probably oil, we use a lot and dont have a lot of our own (just a guess though). I guess it would depend on how broad you categorize or group things as to whether oil is number 1 or not, might be other things if you do in really general terms.
