Abstract

Paper and its products affect on the country's economics. Therefore, type and number investigation is limited and trend estimate of these products is not established. Then, some basic questions arise including the trend of pulp, paper and its products export and import. Since, the research methodologies are analytic, approximate and forecasting methods (trend and regression formulation) were used to establish. The results of trend method are more careful than others. Probably, the products imports will be over 500 million and exports will be over 20 million US dollars in next years (after 2008). Newsprint, cardboard and paper, wrapping exports and also sanitary paper and substantial cardboard as well as paper imports will have increasing trend. Imports trend by value and weight is not relevant in some orders, probably because these amounts are decreasing and these products change to depreciate tariff. Pulp imports must increase because limited pulping material resources, pulp making products. Then export and import of these products will increase in next years. Since, internal requirement will provide and redundant will export and increase proceeds.
