Exports in World Steel in Figures include intra-EU trade and trade between countries of the
former CMEA, and are based on a broad definition of the steel industry and its products,
including ingots, semi-finished products, hot-rolled and cold-finished products, tubes, wire, and
unworked castings and forgings. The above table comprises the exports of 37 countries, which
represents aproximately 90% of total world trade in 2005.
Exports are of finished and semi-finished steel products. Production of finished steel, where not available from national
sources, is calculated from crude steel production, taking into account the continuous casting ratio.
