Wine, fuel, coffee and cigarettes were the most imported products in January

Although January is considered the month of "detox" after the end of the year holidays, the official data does not show the same. The demand and import of foreign wine has increased significantly over the past month. Referring to the official figures from the General Directorate of Customs, only in January 1073 tons of wine were bought from across the borders for consumption, or 17.9 percent compared to January 2023. The customs revenue from this product is recorded at 79.5 million ALL.

Some of the other excise goods also had a positive performance. Specifically, the import of fuel has increased by 4,100 tons, compared to January 2023, and a total of 47,000 tons was purchased with a value of 2.1 billion ALL.

The import of coffee has also experienced a significant increase with 39 tons and the quantity for January reaches 484 tons. Cigarettes remained at the same amount as a year ago, where in the last month 225 tons were imported, providing 1.6 billion ALL in customs revenue.

While the import of beer has decreased by 478 tons, and a total of 4349 tons were imported. Usually the import of beer increases significantly on the eve of the summer season due to the influx of tourists and higher consumption in summer.
