The Maldives Customs Service reported MVR 5.2 billion in imports and MVR 144 million in exports for January 2025, with India, China, and the UAE supplying 60 per cent of all imports. Thailand and the United Kingdom were the top destinations for Maldivian exports, primarily driven by seafood products, including refrigerated skipjack tuna (MVR 73 million), canned fish (MVR 29 million), and frozen yellowfin tuna (MVR 15 million). The trade activity generated MVR 287 million in Customs revenue, with an additional MVR 24 million collected in royalties.
