The article examines the specificity of commodities imports of Germany’s eastern and western lands. The indicators of sectoral import specialization are determined by comparing sectoral import quotas of the federal lands and the East/West with the general German sectoral import quotas. Calculations are based on data from the country’s Federal Statistical Office for 2008 and 2024. As a result of the analysis of the indicators obtained, the general characteristics of the import specifics in relation to industrial branches and federal lands in two parts of the country are formulated, changes among the main specialized branches are explored, the roles of individual lands in the creation of import profiles of East and West Germany and the degree of correspondence between import profiles of the East/West and their lands are determined. The author outlines the convergence of new and old lands in various dimensions of specialization, the East’s emphasis on importing electrical products and the West’s emphasis on importing electronic, automotive, pharmaceutical and mechanical engineering products, and highlights the federal lands that are currently the leaders of the import specialization (Saxony in the East, Bavaria and Baden-Wuerttemberg in the West).
