In Jan.-Mar. imports and exports passing through the regional customs show a slight change in the freight nomenclature. The major inbound cargoes in the reporting period were from China, Ecuador, and the Netherlands.
Of exported volumes the oil and petroleum products were 50% of overall trade, as well as ferrous metals and timber. The outbound commodities were exported largely to Britain, the Netherlands and the United States.
The first-quarter report shows the Russian Baltic Customs processed over 2.000 ships.
