Among the countries from which Ukraine imported the most goods in 2025 were China ($19.2 billion), Poland ($7.9 billion), and Germany ($6.6 billion). The largest exports from the country were to Poland ($5 billion), Turkey ($2.7 billion), and Germany ($2.4 billion).
The following categories accounted for the total volume of goods imported last year:
