EU-reported imports of Cerberus rynchops small leather products by source, all purposes, 2002-2011.
EU imports in 2011 principally comprised small leather products (23 739 products), of which the majority (96%) were reported without a source or purpose specified and the remainder were wild-sourced and traded for commercial purposes. All EU imports of small leather products in 2011 were imported directly from Indonesia.
