Export value for vehicles declined 77% to \u00a529.2 billion, reflecting the widening impact of US retaliatory tariffs and additional auto duties introduced in April. Total exports to the US fell 50% to \u00a593.1 billion. Overall, Kyushu\u2019s June exports decreased 7% to \u00a5979.7 billion, the third consecutive monthly decline, while imports fell 6% for the fifth straight month. Despite the downturn, the first-half trade balance remained in surplus at \u00a5968.6 billion. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customs.go.jp\/moji\/moji_toukei\/data.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moji Customs<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-172267\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fnn_tenjin-cars_2025_WEB.jpeg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kyushu Auto Exports To Us Plunge Below 10,000 Units In June\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fnn_tenjin-cars_2025_WEB.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fnn_tenjin-cars_2025_WEB.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fnn_tenjin-cars_2025_WEB.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fnn_tenjin-cars_2025_WEB.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
