International E-commerce Information on the 19th According to China's customs data, my country's integrated circuit (IC) imports fell by 9.6% year-on-year in Q1 this year, a sharp decline from the same period in 2021 (33.6%). However, the unit price of chip purchases has increased significantly. From January to March this year, Chinese companies paid a total of about US$107.2 billion to import integrated circuits and purchased 140.3 billion integrated circuits, with a total import amount increasing by 14.6% year-on-year. Foreign media pointed out that the average unit price in Q1 rose by more than 26% compared with a year ago...
Customs data shows that my country's integrated circuit (IC) imports fell by 4.6% year-on-year from January to February 2022, the first year-on-year decline since the beginning of 2020. According to data from the General Administration of Customs, China imported 91.9 billion integrated circuits in January and February. Import value jumped 19.2% to $68.8 billion as global chip shortages pushed up semiconductor prices.
Li Kuiwen, spokesperson of the General Administration of Customs, said at the press conference that in the first quarter of 2022, my country imported electromechanical products of 1.71 trillion yuan, an increase of 2.7%, accounting for 40.8% of the total import value, of which the imports of integrated circuits, automatic data processing equipment and their components, and electric manned vehicles increased by 12.4%, 14.9% and 15.7% respectively (click to download the table of the import value of major commodities in March 2022). During the same period, my country imported 336.25 billion yuan of agricultural products, an increase of 4.1%.
