Notes and methodology
All values are in USD, converted from the dataset's USD-million rows at display time. Latest-month YoY compares December 2024 with the same calendar month of 2023; year-to-date YoY compares the same 2023 span. Trade balance is the published GACC balance and can differ from exports minus imports by rounding. Promoting a later month triggers a site rebuild, which updates this page's dates, KPI strip, chart, and table without editing the page source.
Source and transformations
Source: General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China (GACC) monthly import and export statistics; last verified 2026-09-13.
Transformations: China Data Portal converts the promoted USD-million rows into the billions and trillions shown on this page, calculates same-month and year-to-date YoY changes, and preserves source-period labeling. Official source files may later be revised by the publisher.
