Data on the value and net 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 \u201844013020 - Sawdust and wood waste and scrap, agglomerated in pellets\u2019 in 2011 but then classified to the new code \u201844013100 \u2013 wood pellets\u2019 in 2012 and 2013. For this analysis we have combined these two headings to provide a consistent series.<\/p>
