2025 Apr Colombia PVC polymers (HS 3904) Export Snapshot: Sharp Decline

April Trend: Colombia PVC polymers Export

PVC polymers, classified under HS Code 3904 (Polymers of vinyl chloride or of other halogenated olefins, in primary forms.), saw exports decline in April, with value dropping 25.7% MoM to $27.36M and volume falling 24.8% to 29.19M kg. The unit price dipped 1.3% to $0.94/kg, marking a third consecutive monthly decrease. This downturn follows a sharp rebound in March, suggesting volatility in demand or pricing pressures. The U.S. imposition of a 10% tariff on April 5 may have contributed to the contraction, disrupting trade flows. Colombia’s PVC exports remain sensitive to external policy shifts, with April’s performance reflecting these headwinds.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Colombia's PVC polymers export structure, accounting for 86.8% of volume but 83.8% of value, indicating a bulk hub role where raw or low-margin shipments outweigh premium demand. The value-volume gap narrows slightly (3%), suggesting Brazil’s imports are moderately processed rather than purely commodity-grade. Secondary markets like the U.S. and Mexico show higher value ratios (3.8%, 2.3%), hinting at niche demand for specialized grades. The absence of re-export loops (e.g., Colombia-to-Colombia) confirms no domestic inventory staging. The supply chain is volume-driven, prioritizing scale over premium pricing—likely tied to Brazil’s industrial input needs.

Colombia HS Code 3904 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals HS Code 3904102000 dominates Colombia's PVC polymer exports, accounting for 86.7% of value and 91.1% of weight, signaling a bulk-volume market for unmodified polyvinyl chloride. The absence of unit prices (null) suggests competitive pricing over premium differentiation, with secondary codes (e.g., 3904101000, 3904301000) collectively contributing minimal value. This Colombia HS Code 3904 Export breakdown confirms a low-cost, commodity-driven trade flow, where scale outweighs product complexity.
