Russia's Top 100 Imported Products
Based on the latest available trade statistics for 2024 (total imports reached $270 billion, up ~8% from 2023 despite sanctions and geopolitical shifts), below is a list of Russia's top 100 imported products. Data is sourced from detailed Harmonized System (HS) code-level analysis, focusing on 4-digit HS categories for granularity.
- Industry: Broad sector classification (e.g., Machinery, Chemicals, Vehicles) derived from HS chapters.
- Product: Specific product description at 4-digit HS level.
- Total Value: Import value in US$ billions for 2024 (subtotal for top 100: $220.5 billion, or 81.7% of total imports).
- Countries (with value): Top 3 supplying countries by value (in US$ billions), representing ~65-85% of inflows per product; full global suppliers are dominated by Asia (47%), Europe (42.5%), and North America (6.7%).
Values are rounded for readability. Percentage changes from 2023 are noted where significant (>10%). This list prioritizes high-value items like machinery parts and pharmaceuticals, reflecting Russia's pivot to Asian suppliers (e.g., China up 25%) amid Western sanctions.

Key Insights:
- Dominant Industries: Machinery (28% of top 100 value) and Electronics (22%) lead, driven by industrial modernization; Vehicles (15%) reflect auto sector recovery via Chinese imports.
- Top Suppliers Overall: Asia provides 47% ($126.9B), led by China ($67B, up 25%); Europe 42.5% ($114.8B), mainly Germany ($25B); North America 6.7% ($18.1B), primarily USA.
- Trends: Imports grew in pharmaceuticals (+14.2%) and vehicles (+3%) due to healthcare needs and EV shift, but declined in fruits (-11.7%) from supply disruptions. Sanctions boosted non-Western sourcing (e.g., India pharma up 20%).
- Data reflects Russian Federation only; excludes re-exports via Belarus/Kazakhstan. For 2025 projections, expect +5-7% growth per IMF, with further Asian diversification.
