mass of imports of wood pellets are published by HMRC in Overseas Trade Statistics.
Data for the years 2011 to 2013 are shown in the following tables. Due to routine
updating of the commodity codes by Eurostat, wood pellets were coded as ‘44013020
- Sawdust and wood waste and scrap, agglomerated in pellets’ in 2011 but then classified
to the new code ‘44013100 – wood pellets’ in 2012 and 2013. For this analysis we have
combined these two headings to provide a consistent series. The values below are provided
in metric tonnes, each equivalent to 1,000 kg.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td
