Semiconductors into Russia: who reported sending them.

Before 2022, European countries were among the largest reported senders of chips to Russia. From 2023, Hong Kong and mainland China reported most of what any country reported sending.

Electronic integrated circuits (customs code HS 8542), as each country declared its own exports to Russia to UN Comtrade, in US dollars. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia reported almost none before the invasion and millions of dollars a year in 2022 and 2023. Russia itself reported chip imports until 2021 and has published nothing since.

How to read this. Each figure is a country's own declared exports to Russia, not a traced shipment and not Russia's imports. Countries report late and revise, and not every country reports every year (the latest year has the fewest reports; see who reports). Hong Kong's figures include re-exports of goods made elsewhere.
