After peaking in 2015, the imports experienced both growth and decline, with a noticeable downward trend from 2020 onwards. In 2023, the value stood at approximately $0.92 million. Year-on-year variations indicated a decrease of 6.96% in 2023 and 6.63% in 2022, reflecting a consistent downward trend.
