The agreement of the verbs "import" and "export" is incorrect. I suggest a couple of other changes too: China imports huge quantities of materials such as iron and oil in order to make the enormous volume of goods that it then exports to other countries. Check also whether you mean iron ore rather than iron, and whether you want to say "raw materials" rather than "materials".
