Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
China dominates Colombia's ferro-alloys exports, accounting for 80% of value and 79.8% of weight, revealing a balanced value-volume gap—indicating bulk-grade trade with no premium pricing. Japan and the U.S. follow but with lower shares (6.9% and 4.5% value, respectively), suggesting secondary markets for standardized shipments. The tight alignment between weight and value across most partners implies cost-driven logistics, prioritizing mass over specialization. Venezuela’s minimal footprint (0.07% value, 0.15% weight) highlights negligible strategic role. Conclusion: Colombia’s export structure is optimized for high-volume, low-margin flows, with China as the core bulk hub.

Colombia HS Code 7202 Breakdown & Value Logic
yTrade data reveals Ferro-nickel (7202600000) dominates Colombia's Q3 2025 exports, capturing 99.9% of value and 99.8% of volume under HS Code 7202, dwarfing niche ferro-alloys like ferro-manganese or ferro-silicon. The sheer scale of ferro-nickel shipments—36.34M kg worth $117.39M—signals a market skewed toward bulk, high-volume commodities rather than premium specialty alloys. This aligns with Colombia’s role as a volume-driven exporter in the ferro-alloys sector, where economies of scale outweigh unit-price differentiation. The remaining sub-codes collectively contribute less than 0.1% of value, highlighting negligible diversification. The data confirms a low-margin, high-volume trade dynamic for Colombia HS Code 7202 exports.
