Exports fell 2.5% from a year ago in dollar denominated terms, and 2.8% in yuan denominated figures.
Both figures were above expectations, but the slide in imports has sparked worries on the domestic end.
Imports tumbled 17.6% in dollar terms, while yuan-denominated imports plunged 18.1% - falling for the seventh month.
Zhu Haibin, economist at JP Morgan said Monday's data shows that the economy will struggle to meet the government's trade growth target even with the export rise.
"Imports are still much weaker than expected. Exports are doing fine, even though we are still talking about a year-on-year decline, but in terms of momentum they've rebounded a bit after the collapse in March," he told Reuters.
