Saudi Arabia, the USA, UAE, Kuwait are the major importing markets, and the EU is the most attractive market to the suppliers because of the high price despite the complicated regulations. There is notable high demand in the Middle East and CAS countries because the price is lower than other countries, and the quality is better.
For CAS, cheaper transportation is able as it can be done by road but higher risk as often buyers are not validated. On the other hand, for the EU, it is difficult to find buyers/meet regulations but high offer prices.
