Total exports fell 0.5% year-on-year to \u00a51.1017 trillion as automobile and semiconductor equipment shipments declined. Auto exports dropped 8.3% to \u00a5298.7 billion, with U.S.-bound shipments down 20.7% amid ongoing additional tariffs introduced in April. Imports decreased 0.7% to \u00a5862.2 billion due to weaker demand for electronic components. Officials said trade levels remain sensitive to global economic trends. <\/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\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fnn_tenjin-cars_2025_WEB-adjust.jpg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kyushu Trade Surplus Continues, U.S. Auto Exports Fall\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-174513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fnn_tenjin-cars_2025_WEB-adjust.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fnn_tenjin-cars_2025_WEB-adjust.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fnn_tenjin-cars_2025_WEB-adjust.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fnn_tenjin-cars_2025_WEB-adjust.jpg?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.
