The research objectives include (1) collecting and organizing the data of imported and exported timber, wood products and building a credible national database, so as to (2) analyze wood consumption flow based on primary and secondary data, as well as (3) investigating the carbon storage and carbon footprint of timber and wood product. As the year 2014 is the second year of this project, the research includes collecting and organizing the data of (1) pulp, paper, chipboard and secondary processed products, (2) along with compiling the commodity classification documents of carbon footprint of wood products . Of total value of imports, the largest share of import value was for paper and paperboard with an average NT$ 32,839 million annually. We mainly imported from Vietnam, China and Indonesia. Secondary processed paper products and wood pulp came in second with an average annual import value of NT$ 20,415 and NT$18,996 million respectively. On the other hand, secondary paper products accounted for the largest share with export earnings worth an annual average NT$ 26,148 . The major export destinations were Hong Kong, China and the US. Paper, paperboard and secondary processed wood products followed with an annual average export value of NT$ 20,910 and NT$ 8,909 million respectively. Overall, all kinds of wood products, except secondary processed paper products, had higher import value than export value. With regard to quantity of imports and exports , there was a surplus in other fiber pulp, paper and paperboard, but the rest had trade deficits.
