Imports from China (by country of origin) have grown from $900m in 2000 to $4.6b in 2007
The Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) published data on Israel’s import of goods by country of origin. Trade statistics by country of origin, both for the total value of trade in goods and for the quantity and value of trade in individual commodities, areof significant statistical value. They are used for a number of purposes, including analysis of economic trends, national accounts, balance of payments, regional trade patterns, trade shares, market analysis and business decisions, and trade and negotiations. In current trade statistics, published by the Central Bureau of Statistics, country of import is defined as "country of purchase", i.e. the country from which the invoice for the goods imported to Israel was sent. In some cases, "the country of purchase" is different from "the country of origin" (the country of production) and from the country of shipment.
The data shows that in 2007, the countries of origin from which imports were above $1b were: U.S.A., China, Belgium, Germany, U.K., Italy, Japan, Russia, India, Turkey, Switzerland, France, Hong Kong, Netherlands and South Korea.
The countries of origin from which imports (excluding diamonds) were above $1b were: U.S.A., China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Turkey, France, U.K., Netherlands and South Korea.
Imports from China (by country of origin) have grown from $900m in 2000 to $4.6b in 2007. During the same period imports from Russia (by country of origin) grew from $600m to $1.8b and imports from India grew from $500m to $1.7b.
