Notes and methodology
All values are in USD, converted from the dataset's USD-million rows at display time. Year-over-year change compares February 2026 with February 2025; month-over-month change compares it with January 2026. Year-to-date figures are the cumulative totals published in this month's bulletin, not a later revision. Trade balance is the published GACC balance and can differ from exports minus imports by rounding. This page covers one fixed month and does not move when a later month is promoted.
Source and transformations
Source: General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China (GACC) monthly import and export statistics; last verified 2026-09-14.
Transformations: China Data Portal converts the promoted USD-million rows into the billions and trillions shown on this page, calculates year-over-year and month-over-month changes, and preserves source-period labeling. Official source files may later be revised by the publisher.
