Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The U.S. dominates Colombia’s electrical transformers exports, accounting for 64.3% of value but just 21.2% of quantity, revealing a premium market demanding high-grade units. In contrast, Trinidad and Tobago shows a bulk hub pattern (10.6% weight share vs. 4.5% value), suggesting raw material or lower-spec shipments. The value-volume gap highlights a bifurcated strategy: high-margin exports to the U.S. and cost-driven bulk flows to regional partners, optimizing for both profitability and scale.

Colombia HS Code 8504 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals HS 8504219000 (transformers ≤650kVA) dominates Colombia's February 2025 exports, capturing 69.7% frequency and 58.7% value—driven by high-volume, low-unit-cost shipments (3.13K units, $13.76M). The remaining sub-codes, including high-capacity transformers (>10,000kVA) with 21.8% value share, are niche players. This Colombia HS Code 8504 Export pattern confirms a bulk-volume market prioritizing affordability over premium specs, with mid-range transformers (650kVA–10,000kVA) collectively contributing just 17% value. Expect sustained focus on scalable, low-margin products.
