Russia regained the title of chief importer of Chinese cars

In August, the import of cars from the PRC has reached the maximum since the beginning of the year, RIA Novosti writes with reference to the data of China’s customs. In a month, cars were imported in the amount of 796.4 million dollars. This is a quarter more than in July, but half as much as in the same month of 2024.

In 2025, the volume of imports of cars from a whale to Russia decreased sharply – from 9.15 to 4.1 billion dollars. The cause of the fall is to increase the recycling fee. This is a one -time payment charged for each car imported and produced in the Russian Federation.

In general, the PRC is exporting: over the past month of the summer of 2025, the PRC has taken abroad in the amount of $ 10.2 billion. In August 2024, this figure was 20 percent less. In January-August, the amount amounted to 69.4 billion against last year’s $ 59.2 billion.
