China’s Import of NR up 28% in April

Notes:
1. The above data of NR, as compiled by the Customs Department, account latex in wet weight (i.e., including water content). For the data ANRPC publish through “Natural Rubber Trends & Statistics”, only the dry weight of latex is accounted.
2. The data of NR given above do not include compound rubber. The actual import of NR would be much higher if NR contained in rubber compounds having more than 95% NR are also accounted.
