GUANGZHOU, July 29 (Xinhua) -- Foreign trade in Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province, totaled about 456.14 billion yuan (about 66.18 billion U.S. dollars) in the first half of the year, up 1.2 percent year on year, the city government said Monday.

Imports of high-tech products reached 73.79 billion yuan, up 46.9 percent, which occupied about 33.7 percent of the total imports. Imported consumer goods totaled 34.28 billion yuan, up 31.8 percent.

From January to June, the city's cross-border e-commerce imports and exports recorded 16.72 billion yuan, up 50.4 percent. The exports in the sector reached 5.13 billion yuan, a threefold increase, while imports reached 11.59 billion yuan, up 18.3 percent.
