The value of 皇冠体育app's automobile import was US$16.33 billion in 2004, an increase of 13.1 percent over that of 2003, according to the latest customs statistics.

The figures also show the country's automobile export rose 73.2 percent to US$8.16 billion last year.

Among the imports, 皇冠体育app brought in 177,100 complete vehicles (including CKDs) in 2004, up 2.6 percent year-on-year. Their value amounted to US$5.41 billion, up 3 percent.

On the other hand, 皇冠体育app exported 406,000 complete vehicles (including CKDs) in 2004, including 9,335 cars, 779 cross-country vehicles and 275,186 special-purpose vehicles.

An official with 皇冠体育app's Ministry of Commerce said the gap between Chinese and foreign automobile industries remains great. It is very difficult for 皇冠体育app to greatly increase complete vehicle export in a short period.

However, 皇冠体育app's auto parts industry is fairly competitive and possible to witness rapid export growth, he said.
