2025 Aug Paraguay Aluminium scrap (HS 7602) Export Snapshot: Vol Dip

August Trend: Paraguay Aluminium scrap Export

Aluminium scrap, classified under HS Code 7602 (Aluminium waste and scrap), saw mixed trends in August 2025, with unit prices rising 5.93% month-on-month to $2.22/kg despite a sharp 39.45% drop in export value to $4.16M. The decline was driven by a 42.84% contraction in shipment volume to 1.88M kg, likely influenced by the August 1 implementation of Section 232 duties on copper derivatives, which may have disrupted broader non-ferrous scrap trade flows. This follows July's rebound in both volume and value, highlighting ongoing volatility in secondary aluminium markets.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's aluminium scrap exports, accounting for 72.5% of value but only 69.6% of weight—a slight premium gap suggesting demand for higher-grade material. India, the second-largest destination, shows a reverse trend (14.1% value vs. 17.3% weight), acting as a bulk hub for lower-value processing. The US and Canada exhibit tighter value-weight alignment, indicating balanced trade flows. This structure reveals Paraguay’s export strategy prioritizes premium markets (Brazil) while leveraging bulk buyers (India) for volume. The supply chain is bifurcated: quality-focused for top partners, cost-driven for secondary ones.
