Export torpedoes of China are Chinese-built torpedoes intended for international export. The series of torpedoes has the prefix "ET" and has been developed by the Chinese marine industrial company CSOC for export only. These torpedoes may have their domestic use correspondence but this is generally not officially admitted. Some of them have seen wide use by the navies of other countries.
The capabilities of export versions are not necessarily the same as the domestic version.

The FL-7 is the export version of the SY-2 missile, specifically the liquid propellant prototype of SY-2. The export variant of the solid propellant SY-2 is known as the FL-2.
The CY-1 is a Chinese anti-submarine rocket carried on a variety of surface platforms, including the Luda class missile destroyers and Jiangwei class missile frigates. A series of CY ASW missiles have been developed based on CY-1. To date only a small number of CY-1 is known to have been produced and deployed on trial basis, despite the fact that it had first appeared on the defense exhibitions held in China in the late 1980s.
The TL-6 is an anti-ship missile developed by Hongdu Aviation Industry Group. The missile was marketed via China National Aero-Technology Import & Export Corporation (CATIC) as FL-9. The missile is also called Nasr missile by Iran's Aerospace Industries Organization (AIO).
The YJ-9 is a Chinese lightweight anti-ship missile manufactured by Hongdu Aviation Industry Corporation. The export version of YJ-9 is called TL-10 anti-ship missile by Hongdu, or FL-8 by China National Aero-Technology Import & Export Corporation (CATIC). The missile is also called Kowsar by Iran's Aerospace Industries Organization (AIO).

The background of the development of Yu-4 torpedo is identical to that of Yu-1 torpedo and Yu-2 torpedo.
