7 August , 2026  

China maintained its top position by a wide margin among suppliers of goods to Ukraine in January–July 2026, accounting for $16.8 billion in imports, according to the Experts Club information and analytical center, based on data from the State Customs Service.

According to calculations based on State Customs Service statistics, China accounted for about 28.9% of Ukraine’s total goods imports, which reached $58.1 billion over the seven-month period.

Poland was the second-largest supplier with $5.5 billion, or about 9.5% of imports, while Germany ranked third with $3.8 billion, or 6.5%.

Thus, just three countries accounted for almost 45% of the value of all goods imported into Ukraine in January-July.

Total goods imports over the seven months increased by 26.6% compared with the same period of 2025, from $45.9 billion to $58.1 billion.

Machinery, equipment and vehicles remain the main factor behind the high level of imports, with purchases amounting to $25.7 billion. Fuel and energy products accounted for another $8.5 billion, while chemical industry products amounted to $8 billion.

At the same time, Ukraine’s exports over the same period grew significantly more slowly — by 3.8%, to $24.1 billion.
