Mawlla pointed out Tuesday that wood prices were affected by the global economic conditions that emerged during the coronavirus pandemic, alongside rising prices of raw materials in the countries of origin and hiked shipping prices to unprecedented levels.

But he added that local wood prices recently began to stabilize, owing to their availability in quantities that cover requirements for continued imports, as well as strong competition between importers and traders.

Jordan imports non-manufactured wood of various types from several countries, most notably China, Finland, Germany, Indonesia, Sweden, and Thailand, which are duty-free but are subject to 16 percent sales tax.
