Japan's imports rose for the first time in 11 months in February as crude oil imports fell at a slower pace than in recent months, the Finance Ministry said Thursday.
   Overall imports grew 0.5 pct in February from a year before to 8,628.6 billion yen. Crude oil imports fell only 0.05 pct as prices were relatively stable following a recent decline.
   Coal and liquefied natural gas imports slipped 39.6 pct and 21.1 pct, respectively.
   Imports of clothing and accessories increased 27.5 pct, led by robust shipments from China. Computer imports climbed 27.8 pct.
   Exports gained 7.8 pct to 8,249.2 billion yen, driven by a 19.8 pct increase in vehicles and a 22.6 pct rise in auto parts amid the easing of semiconductor supply constraints.
