SC forest products industry export report, 2018

Abstract

The goal of this report is to provide timely information on international markets and export activities that are and will be relevant for the development of the South Carolina’s forest products industry. This document offers insights on international trade of the state’s forest products and the most promising destinations for each product category. Historic trade data is based on the U.S. Census Bureau’s “Origin of Movement (OM)” state export series, which is intended to measure state exports on the basis of transportation, not manufacturing origin. The included figures are presented to offer a perspective on the composition of exports from the state, on the basis of origin transportation.
