The value of imports rose $495 million or 15% to $3.8 billion, including a rise of $152 million or 21% in processed industrial supplies.
The trade deficit for November was $186 million or 5.1% of exports, compared to an average November deficit of 24% of exports for the previous five years.
For the year to November, New Zealand had a trade surplus of $1.3 billion or 3.1% of exports. It was the first annual surplus for November since 2001.
