Imports of goods into Ukraine from January through October 2026 increased by 24% in monetary terms compared to the same period in 2025 — from $67.8 billion to $84.2 billion — and nearly reached the total import volume for all of 2025 ($84.8 billion), according to data from the Telegram channel of the State Customs Service of Ukraine (SCSU).
The situation with exports is the opposite—compared to the January–October 2026 figures, they decreased by 2.5%—from $33.2 billion to $32.4 billion, whereas in January–October 2024, they were even higher—$34.6 billion.
“At the same time, taxable imports totaled $58.3 billion, accounting for 69% of the total volume of imported goods. The tax burden per kilogram of taxable imports in January–October 2026 was $0.63/kg,” the SCS added.
