China maintained its position as Ukraine’s leading supplier of goods by a wide margin in January–July 2026, accounting for imports worth $16.8 billion, according to the Experts Club Information and Analytical Centre, based on data from the State Customs Service.
According to calculations based on State Customs Service statistics, China accounted for around 28.9 per cent of Ukraine’s total imports of goods, which reached $58.1 billion over the seven-month period.
Poland was the second-largest supplier, with a volume of $5.5 billion, or around 9.5 per cent of imports, whilst Germany was third, with $3.8 billion, or 6.5 per cent.
Thus, just three countries accounted for almost 45 per cent of the value of all goods imported into Ukraine between January and July.
Total imports of goods over the seven-month period rose by 26.6 per cent compared with the same period in 2025 – from $45.9 billion to $58.1 billion.
The main driver of the high volume of imports remains machinery, equipment and vehicles, purchases of which totalled $25.7 billion. Fuel and energy products accounted for a further $8.5 billion, whilst chemical industry products accounted for $8 billion.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s exports over the same period grew at a significantly slower rate – by 3.8 per cent, to $24.1 billion.
