As of November 2010, the total value of foreign trade and import and export in Wenzhou ranked sixth in Zhejiang Province, after Ningbo, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Jiaxing and Taizhou.

However, it is noteworthy that the gross value of foreign trade and imports and exports in Wenzhou has been greatly reduced compared with that in Taizhou. In the first half of November, the total value of foreign trade and import and export in Wentai area was 23 million 960 thousand US dollars, compared with 530 million in the first half.

Wenzhou customs officials predict that if Wenzhou's foreign trade and import and export remain warm in the second half of December, Wenzhou's import and export will exceed Taizhou in the year, ranking fifth in Zhejiang province.

In the past, in November, the structure of Wenzhou's foreign trade and import and export showed that export was still dominated by shoes and other labor-intensive products, of which export shoes were US $3 billion 400 million, an increase of 36.8% over the same period last year, and export clothing was US $1 billion 430 million, an increase of 21.7% over the same period last year. The export protection circuit set up 850 million US dollars, an increase of 57% over the same period last year.

In 1-11, Wenzhou imported 280 million yuan of raw materials for chemical industry, an increase of 24.5% over the same period last year, and imports of plastic raw materials were 270 million US dollars, down 11.7% from the same period last year. The import of raw cattle and horse hide was 210 million US dollars, up 47.6% over the same period last year.

Affected by the continuous high price of raw materials in the international market, the enthusiasm of enterprises in Wenzhou for importing raw materials for stockpile production or arbitrage speculation has been hit, resulting in the growth rate of Wenzhou's foreign trade lagging far behind the growth rate of foreign trade export, which has dragged down the growth momentum of Wenzhou's overall foreign trade import and export.
