 UN Comtrade 2024, reported by each country (exports by exporters, imports by importers), all partners. Some countries (for example Russia and Iran) do not report, so their shares are missing. HS codes can be broader than the tile: check the code before reading a share as the whole market.

#### How it moves

| Measure | Figure |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Share traded** | moderate: leaders ship from a few large plants worldwide; to be confirmed with UN Comtrade HS 350790 |  |  |
| **How it moves** | Liquids in IBCs and drums, often refrigerated or stabilised; dust-free coated granules in bags; short shelf lives favour regional supply. |  |  |
| **Routes and chokepoints** | Denmark, the US, Germany, Finland and China to the world. |  |  |
| **India** | HS 350790: India imported $171 million (2.4% of world imports, rank 11) and exported $82 million (1.1% of world exports, rank 16) (UN Comtrade 2024). |  |  |
| **Handling in transit** | Not dangerous goods; respiratory sensitisers (GHS Resp. Sens. 1), so dust is controlled. |  |  |
