2025 Mar Colombia Petroleum coke (HS 2713) Export Snapshot: Surge in Demand

March Trend: Colombia Petroleum coke Export

Petroleum coke, classified under HS Code 2713 (Petroleum coke, petroleum bitumen and other residues of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals.), rebounded in March with exports rising 20.48% MoM to 121.03M kg, while unit prices climbed 11.75% to $0.15/kg. This recovery followed February's sharp declines, where volumes and values had dropped 28.82% and 46.83%, respectively. The uptick in March suggests renewed demand, though trade flows remain volatile. The Trump administration's 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods, effective March 4, may have indirectly influenced regional trade dynamics, though direct impact on Colombian exports is unclear.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Colombia's petroleum coke exports show a striking Value-Volume Gap: China Mainland dominates by volume (75.86% weight share) but yields lower value intensity (31.31% value share), signaling its role as a bulk processing hub for raw or lower-grade coke. In contrast, Puerto Rico commands a premium (38.84% value share vs. 13.34% weight), reflecting demand for higher-specification product. The U.S. (23.07% value share) balances both, likely serving niche industrial buyers. This structure reveals a cost-driven supply chain, prioritizing mass-volume logistics to bulk buyers over premium markets.

Colombia HS Code 2713 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals Petroleum bitumen (2713200000) dominates Colombia's HS Code 2713 exports, capturing 68.69% of value despite accounting for just 24.14% of quantity, while lower-value petroleum coke (2713110000) makes up 75.86% of volume but only 31.31% of value. This stark contrast highlights a high-margin, low-volume niche for bitumen versus a bulk-volume, low-margin coke trade. The Colombia HS Code 2713 export market is bifurcated: bitumen drives premium returns, while coke fuels volume throughput. Expect strategic shifts if bitumen's unit price resilience persists.
