In October, Japan reduced passenger car exports to Russia by 46.8% compared to the same period last year. Other sectors of the automotive industry also suffered, with supplies of spare parts and components falling by 39%.
As TASS reports, citing data from the Japanese Ministry of Finance, the decline in supply continues against the backdrop of sanctions banning the export to the Russian Federation of gasoline, diesel and hybrid cars with an engine capacity of more than 1.9 litres. effective August 9. However, according to Vladivostok customs data, the import of cars through this port in the ten months of this year amounted to 198 thousand cars, compared to 142 thousand in the same period last year.
However, this growth is very understandable. It’s just that in July, before the sanctions came into effect, car exports from Japan immediately increased by 53% compared to the previous year’s average – buyers tried to import as many cars as possible before restrictions were tightened. So, most likely, the final annual statistics of car imports from the Land of the Rising Sun will be quite sad.
