Japan posted a merchandise trade surplus of 17.3 billion yen in October, the Ministry of Finance said on Wednesday.
That was well shy of expectations for a surplus of 301.0 billion yen following the 124.8 billion yen deficit in September.
Exports fell 9.2 percent on year, missing forecasts for a drop of 7.5 percent following the 5.2 percent decline in the previous month.
Imports were down an annual 14.8 percent versus expectations for a drop of 15.4 percent after dipping 1.5 percent a month earlier.
