Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Chile dominates Colombia's coal briquettes exports, accounting for 13.1% of volume but only 11.9% of value, signaling a bulk hub role—likely processing raw materials for regional redistribution. Brazil and Turkey follow with similar volume-value gaps, reinforcing a cost-driven supply chain optimized for mass transit rather than premium demand. The absence of high-value skews suggests Colombia’s exports prioritize scale over specialization, with partners acting as logistical gateways rather than end markets. This structure implies heavy reliance on price competitiveness in regional trade flows.

Colombia HS Code 2701 Breakdown & Value Logic
yTrade data reveals 2701120010 (bituminous coal) dominates Colombia's Q3 2025 exports, capturing 97% frequency and 96% volume—a clear bulk-volume play. The absence of unit price data suggests commoditized, low-margin trade, with negligible activity in anthracite (2701110000) or other sub-codes. This Colombia HS Code 2701 Export pattern confirms a market anchored in high-volume, low-cost energy shipments, where scale trumps premium differentiation. The minimal presence of alternative sub-codes (just 3% combined) underscores rigid demand for standardized thermal coal. Expect pricing, not quality, to drive future trade flows.
