The Panjiva team is getting ready for the 4th of July, and so we took a look at U.S. imports of fireworks. Not surprisingly, it’s highly seasonal:
Global trade wonks will not be surprised to see that China is the dominant exporter. But Fireworks.com reminds us that this is not just another example of China’s manufacturing dominance; after all, fireworks were invented in China.
When the Panjiva team watches fireworks this weekend, we’ll be thinking of global trade. But we encourage the rest of you to just enjoy the moment.
