In 2024, the EU imported 120,000 tonnes of fireworks worth €406.7 million from countries outside the EU. This marks a 9.5% increase in volume and a 21.5% increase in value compared with 2023.

Most of these imports entered the EU through the Netherlands (37.0%) and Germany (35.6%), followed at a distance by Poland (7.4%).

Methodological notes:

  • Fireworks: Harmonized commodity description and coding system (HS) product code 360410 ‘Fireworks’
  • Dutch trade flows are over-estimated because of the so-called ‘Rotterdam effect’ (or quasi-transit trade): goods bound for other EU countries arrive in Dutch ports and, according to EU rules, are recorded as extra-EU imports by the Netherlands (the country where goods are released for free circulation). This in turn increases the intra-EU flows from the Netherlands to those EU countries to which the goods are re-exported.
