Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's aluminium scrap exports, accounting for 71.3% of value but only 65.6% of weight, signaling a premium market where higher-grade or processed scrap commands better pricing. The U.S. and China follow distantly, with value shares lagging behind their weight contributions (8.8% vs. 10% for the U.S., 6.7% vs. 8.4% for China), suggesting they act as bulk hubs for raw material processing. This structure reveals Paraguay’s export strategy prioritizes high-margin buyers (Brazil) while secondary markets absorb volume at lower margins. The supply chain is value-optimized, not volume-driven.

Paraguay HS Code 760200 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals Paraguay’s HS Code 760200 exports are entirely dominated by Aluminium waste and scrap (76020000), accounting for 100% of volume (10.59M kg) and value ($22.84M). The absence of unit price data suggests a bulk-driven market, where low-margin, high-volume scrap trade overshadows niche or processed alternatives. This aligns with Paraguay’s role as a raw material exporter, prioritizing quantity over premium pricing. The lack of diversification under this HS code confirms a volume-first strategy, typical for scrap-heavy economies. Expect stability in this flow unless recycling demand or tariffs shift.
