Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Chile dominates Colombia's plastic sheets exports, accounting for 19.4% of value but only 14.6% of weight—revealing a premium market demanding higher-grade or specialized products. The United States and Guatemala follow with similar value-weight gaps, suggesting these markets prioritize quality over bulk. In contrast, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands show a bulk hub pattern (7.9% weight vs. 6.3% value), likely serving as a transit or processing point. The trade structure leans toward value-driven markets, indicating Colombia’s export strategy favors premium buyers over raw material flows. This skew implies supply chains are optimized for margin capture rather than volume efficiency.

Colombia HS Code 3920 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals HS Code 3920100000 (ethylene polymer sheets) as Colombia's top plastic sheet export by frequency (32.6%) and value (27.4%), with 3920209000 (propylene polymer sheets) leading in volume (43.2%) and weight. The dominance of these non-reinforced, bulk-grade materials—combined with missing unit prices—suggests Colombia's HS Code 3920 export market is volume-driven, prioritizing cost-efficient production over premium specs. The remaining sub-codes (vinyl chloride, PET, etc.) collectively contribute minor shares, reinforcing a focus on commoditized polymers. This signals a low-margin, high-volume export strategy for March 2025.
