About this trade data
Volumes reflect the first customs destination, not the final consumer market. Several top partners are re-export hubs rather than terminal buyers: Polish processors fillet and smoke whole Norwegian salmon and ship it onward, mostly to Germany; the Netherlands and Lithuania play similar EU logistics roles; Denmark to a lesser degree. Shipped-to figures for those countries therefore overstate local demand and undercount the true downstream markets. On the live dashboard these hubs carry a re-export marker; the reattribution is a directional estimate drawn from trade-press and Eurostat re-export accounting, not a primary customs feed.
Monthly destination figures come from SSB’s salmon commodity group (table 14720), spanning fresh, frozen, and fillet salmon (HS 0302 / 0303 / 0304). That is a broader basket than the weekly farmed-salmon price series (table 03024), so monthly destination tonnage and the weekly headline price are not directly comparable.
