Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The U.S. dominates Colombia's plastic packaging exports, accounting for 28.6% of value but only 20% of weight, signaling a premium market demanding higher-grade or specialized products. In contrast, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands show a bulk hub pattern (11.4% value vs. 14.6% weight), likely serving as a transit or processing point. The value-volume gap reveals a dual strategy: premium exports to the U.S. and cost-driven bulk flows to secondary hubs, optimizing for both margin and scale.

Colombia HS Code 3923 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals 3923509000 (plastic stoppers/lids/caps) dominates Colombia's HS Code 3923 exports, capturing 37.5% of value and 89.2% of quantity—a clear volume leader. The sub-code’s low unit price (implied by high quantity-to-value disparity) and broad industrial use cases drive its prevalence, signaling a Colombia HS Code 3923 Export market skewed toward high-volume, low-cost packaging solutions. Other sub-codes (like ethylene polymer bags and plastic bottles) collectively fill niche roles but lack comparable scale. This confirms Colombia’s plastic packaging trade thrives on bulk, commoditized demand rather than premium specialization.
