The universe is full of questions--"Why am I here?, Why do people insist on driving slow in the fast lane? and Where does my wood come from?" Thankfully Zepol just released a “Wood Import Report” for the continuously shaped wood segment of the US market. One less question to keep you up at night.
I know, it sounds riveting but I’m a trend junkie and I want to know where my wood comes from. The report details recent import trends and provides information on wood imports in late 2009 to early 2010.
Here are a few tantalizing tidbits:
*Brazil is the U.S.’s top supplier for wood products in HTS 4409, with $238,155,180 exported over August 2009 to July 2010 – a 16.64% increase over the previous year.
*Canada dominates the U.S.’s supply of red cedar siding (HTS 4409.10.1020 & HTS 4409.10.1060), with 95% and 100% market share respectively from August 2009 to July 2010.
*July 2010 was a big month for U.S. wood imports across the board, with several HTS product categories posting their high for the year in this month.
