Abstract

During the period 2004-2018, the EU-28 countries increased the import value of upholstered wooden chairs for 35.1% up to (sic)5.4 billion. Germany, France and the United Kingdom represent the biggest importers of this product in the EU-28, having reached the import value of (sic)3.2 billion in 2018. The most important countries supplying above mentioned countries are Poland and China. Serbia, as a non EU-28 country, participates with small share in the EU market supply with upholstered wooden chairs. The most important EU-28 markets for export from Serbia are Slovenia, the Netherlands, Italy, Croatia and Germany. Except for the international trade flow, the paper also deals with the analysis of the specific requirements of certain markets referring to the quality of chairs, as well as their components.
