The total EU plywood imports in 2017 were down by 7%, to 2.159 million metric tonnes (MT). The decrease was mainly caused by the fall of the other hardwood plywood markets, with imports down by over 20%, from 1.346 million MT, to 1.076 million MT.<\/em><\/p>\n

Also, the decrease was caused by a revision of customs product codes in 2017, which saw a large number of species previously labelled \u2018other hardwoods\u2019 now identified as \u2018tropical\u2019. \"\"<\/a>However, this was clearly not the only factor in the downturn, as tropical and softwood plywood imports increased by a combined total of only 115,000 MT in 2017; the former rising from 262,000 MT to 320,000 MT, the latter from 707,000 MT to 760,000 MT. (Chart 1)<\/p>\n

Overtaking both Indonesia and Malaysia as the largest supplier of tropical hardwood to the EU was China, with imports up 44,000 MT to 106,000 MT in 2017. This is almost entirely due to the HS product code reclassification, as Chinese \u2018mixed red hardwood\u2019 plywood was most affected.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

EU imports of Indonesian plywood were ahead 24% in 2017, rising from 71,000 MT to 88,000 MT, while imports of Malaysian plywood dipped 15% from 71,000 MT to 62,000 MT, and imports of Gabon plywood fell 19% from 21,000 MT to 17,000 MT. (Chart 2).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The largest EU tropical plywood importer in 2017 remained the UK, which increased its purchases by 29% from 120,000 MT to 155,000 MT.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Belgium became the second biggest, with imports rising 21,000 MT to 52,000 MT, taking over from the Netherlands where imports fell 6,000 MT to 31,000 MT. Germany also saw an increase of 35% to 27,000 MT in 2017. (Chart 3).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
