EU imports of fireworks from non‑EU countries rose to 120,000 tonnes in 2024, up 9.5 % in volume and 21.5 % in value from the previous year. The total value of the imports reached €406.7 million. Most of the fireworks entered the EU through the Netherlands (37.0 %) and Germany (35.6 %), followed by Poland (7.4 %). The Dutch data may be inflated because of the “Rotterdam effect”, where goods bound for other EU members arrive in Dutch ports and are recorded as extra‑EU imports, increasing intra‑EU flows to those countries. The figures are based on the Harmonized System code 360410 for fireworks and are sourced from Eurostat’s dataset ds-045409.
