China’s imports of North Korean goods plummeted for a seventh consecutive month in September.

The General Administration of Customs in Beijing reported on Friday that China's imports of North Korean products slipped 37-point-nine percent last month, year-on-year, while its exports to the North also shrank nearly seven percent over the same period.
 
In line with UN Security Council Resolution 2375, China has vowed to fully ban the imports of North Korean textile products from September 23rd. And from October first, it began limiting shipments of refined oil products to North Korea.

The customs agency’s spokesman, Huang Songping, also pointed out that as of last month, China has not imported any seafood products from the North. 
 
His remarks appeared to have been directed at a CNN report on Wednesday that said North Korean seafood was making its way into the Chinese city of Hunchun despite the latest ban.
 
China’s imports of North Korean goods between January and September fell 16-point-seven percent year-on-year to stand at some one-and-a-half billion U.S. dollars. Meanwhile, its exports to the North surged nearly 21 percent to two-and-a-half billion dollars.
