This is according to the latest statistics released by the Korean Customs Service (KCS).

China is at second place with import turnover of US$372 million.

According to KCS's analysis, Vietnam's import turnover has rapidly increased because the quantity of clothing accessories exported to RoK businesses' factories in Vietnam is going up.

The information, quoted by the Korean Broadcasting System, revealed that the country's export turnover of clothes reached US$1.94 billion, 4.5% lower than the previous year.
