This paper has estimated import demand functions for Syria based on annual data for the period 1970-1995. The gross domestic product has a significant effect on explaining the change in the import demand where the equilibrium estimated import demand elasticity with respect to income and price are  0.867 and –0.074; respectively. The price elasticity is low, perhaps because of the deformation of the import structure pricing and the multicolinearity effect.
