Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The United States dominates Colombia's plastic sheets exports, accounting for 18.38% of value vs. 17.53% of weight, indicating a premium market demanding higher-grade or specialized products. Guatemala and Mexico follow with high volume but lower value ratios, suggesting bulk trade for cost-sensitive processing. Notably, Ecuador has the highest shipment frequency (18.82%) but a 7.38% weight share, hinting at frequent, smaller high-margin shipments. The structure reveals a split strategy: premium exports to the U.S. and bulk flows to regional hubs, optimizing for both value capture and cost efficiency.

Colombia HS Code 3920 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals HS Code 3920209000 (propylene-based plastic sheets) dominates Colombia's July 2025 exports, capturing 35% of value and 38% of quantity/weight—a clear volume leader.
