adavies,
your numbers are spot-on! As you suspected, the first two shipments left Southampton before year end so these revenues belong to Q4-2017. Assuming all shipments' grade was 65% and the discount applied vs. APT was -20%, the US-Dollar value of Q1 shipments to GTP so far is 4,8 Million.
As of today tonnes shipped are almost exactly on-par with Q4. Due to tungsten's recent price increase, Q1 revenues are higher than in Q4. On the downside though, Wolf had an excellent run during December and I believe it will be difficult to repeat such excellent performance. Should Wolf continue to ship at current rates, Q1 tonnes shipped to GTP will decline vs. Q4's.
I am not aware of any data being published regarding inner-EU shipments. Since there is no cumstoms involved, I would not expect anybody to publish detailed statistics on it. This might chance once Brexit has been consummated though.
