(Corrects Aug export growth rate in table to 34.4 percent from 34.2 percent)
BEIJING, Sept 10 (Reuters) - China's exports, after calendar adjustments for the number of working days, rose 32.9 percent in August from a year earlier and were down 1.4 percent from July, the General Administration of Customs said on Friday.
On the same basis, imports last month rose 30.2 percent from a year earlier and rose 3.1 percent from July, it added.
Before adjustments, exports fell 4.3 percent in August compared with July, with imports up 2.1 percent, the agency said.
Customs earlier reported unadjusted year-on-year export growth of 34.4 percent in August, with imports up 35.2 percent.
That left China with a trade surplus of $20.0 billion, down from $28.7 billion in July. [ID:nBJB003936]
