2025 Mar Colombia Ferro-alloys (HS7202) Export Snapshot: Surge in Exports

March Trend: Colombia Ferro-alloys Export

Ferro-alloys, classified under HS Code 7202 (Ferro-alloys), rebounded in March with exports surging 36.7% MoM to $41.55M, driven by a 30.9% increase in volume (12.11M kg). Unit prices rose 4.5% to $3.43/kg, recovering from February's 6.1% drop. The sharp recovery follows a weak February performance, where both value and volume contracted by double digits. New tariffs under the Trump administration, including a 25% levy on certain imports, may have influenced trade flows, though direct impact remains unclear. Colombia's ferro-alloys trade remains volatile, with March marking a strong reversal from prior-month declines.
