Deliveries of main supplier Austria grew 2%: A total of 83,000 m3 was delivered in four months. When looking at figures of previous years, however, it becomes apparent that Austria delivered more than 120,000 m3 during the same period in the years of 2015 and 2016.
Russia kept up a strong level this year with deliveries amounting to 11,000 m3. Even better did Latvia yielding an increase of 30% to 7000 m3.
However, it is important to keep in mind that different surveying and reporting regulations for instance in Italy in Austria make comparability of foreign trade data difficult especially when it comes to laminated timber. The evaluation applies to customs number 44189910.
