Korea supplied nearly half of Taiwan’s listed memory-chip import value.
Memory chips are a distinct import dependency inside Taiwan’s semiconductor supply chain. The ranking shows Korea’s central role and Japan’s continued relevance in Taiwan’s inbound memory flow. This view helps separate memory sourcing from Taiwan’s broader integrated-circuit import mix.
