Taiwan Imports

Taiwan's imports reached $41.86 billion in September 2025, increasing by 0.5% from $41.66 billion in August 2025. This rise was driven by a 42.7% increase in electronic parts, a 52.7% rise in machinery and a 70.0% jump in information and audio-video products. Mineral product imports declined. Import growth was strong from South Korea, Europe and ASEAN countries. Taiwan's record low imports was $1.2 billion in February 1983 and record high was $42.62 billion in March 2025.
