BEIJING. – China’s total imports and exports of goods rose 20% year over year in January through October 2026, according to customs data published Tuesday on the State Council Information Office’s website.
The November 10 release, citing the General Administration of Customs, said imports increased 23.6% and exports rose 17.6% during the same year-to-date period.
Total goods-trade growth accelerated from 18.8% in the first nine months to 20% over the first ten months. Imports grew faster than exports in the January-October comparison.
The figures describe cumulative trade through October compared with the same period of 2025. They are not October-only growth rates.
The release gives an updated year-to-date measure of China’s cross-border goods trade, with growth in both inbound and outbound trade. Its brief summary does not break the gains down by trading partner or product.
