Singapore imports about US$1.08B per km², ahead of Macao and Hong Kong.
Imports per square kilometre is measured as import value divided by land area for compact import-intensive economies. The data ranks Singapore, Macao, Hong Kong, Malta and Luxembourg using import values and area denominators. Singapore leads at about US$1.08B per km², ahead of Macao at US$705M and Hong Kong at US$652M. For World Bank rows the import value covers goods and services, while Macao uses World Integrated Trade Solution import value for a cleaner public numerator.

Imports are goods and services for World Development Indicators-calculated countries. Values are current US dollars and rounded.
For World Development Indicators economies, import value equals GDP multiplied by imports of goods and services as a share of GDP, then divided by area. Macao uses World Integrated Trade Solution current import value divided by area.
Most values use World Bank World Development Indicators; Macao uses WITS/World Development Indicators because it gives a cleaner public import-value figure for the territory.
