Latest Scottish Government figures show that in the year ending September 2023 Scotland imported goods worth £32.3 billion from around the world.
That figure was a decrease of 8.3 per cent (£2.9 billion) from the year before - largely due to falling gas prices - compared to the UK overall, where imports increased by 2.2 per cent.
