2025 Aug Paraguay Bamboo Plywood (HS 441233) Export Snapshot: Volume Dip

August Trend: Paraguay Bamboo Plywood Export

Bamboo Plywood, classified under HS Code 441233 (Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood, of bamboo), saw mixed trends in August 2025, with unit prices rising 9.53% MoM to $0.89/kg despite a 24.40% drop in export value ($1.69M USD) and a 30.98% decline in volume (1.89M kg). The rebound in pricing follows a 3.65% dip in July, while the sharp contraction in trade volume suggests potential supply chain adjustments or demand shifts. Notably, new Section 232 tariffs on copper derivatives took effect August 1, though their direct impact on bamboo plywood remains unclear. The month’s performance contrasts with April’s peak volume (2.65M kg) and May’s record value ($2.33M USD). Paraguay’s exports have shown volatility, with unit prices fluctuating between $0.80/kg and $0.90/kg since February.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Portugal dominates Paraguay's bamboo plywood exports, accounting for 31.9% of value but only 29.8% of weight, signaling a premium market demand for higher-grade or finished products. The value-volume gap is even starker in the U.S. (16.8% value vs. 12.7% weight), reinforcing this trend. In contrast, Latvia’s 10.1% value share lags behind its 16% weight share, acting as a bulk hub for raw material processing. The supply chain is bifurcated: premium markets (Portugal, U.S.) drive margins, while bulk hubs (Latvia) absorb volume. This structure suggests cost-efficiency prioritization, with Paraguay leveraging dual channels for value capture and scale.

Paraguay HS Code 441233 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals HS Code 44123300 dominates Paraguay's bamboo plywood exports, capturing 100% of volume and value—3K units worth $1.69M—despite its description excluding bamboo, suggesting a misclassification or niche demand for non-bamboo hardwood plywood. The absence of unit price data hints at bulk, low-margin trade, typical of commodity-driven markets. This sub-code’s monopoly (69% frequency) overshadows the remaining nine, reinforcing Paraguay’s export focus on standardized, high-volume wood products under HS Code 441233. The market leans on volume over premium differentiation, likely catering to cost-sensitive buyers.
