Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Argentina dominates Paraguay's metal bottle caps exports, accounting for 52.5% of value but only 46.6% of weight, signaling a premium market demand for higher-grade or specialized caps. Chile and Bolivia follow with significant volume shares (34.6% and 17.9% of quantity, respectively) but lower value ratios, suggesting bulk-oriented trade flows. The value-volume gap reveals Argentina’s role as a high-margin destination, while regional neighbors act as cost-driven hubs. This structure implies Paraguay’s export strategy prioritizes value capture in Argentina over mass-volume trade elsewhere.

Paraguay HS Code 8309 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals 83099000 (Stoppers; caps and lids, of base metal) dominates Paraguay's HS Code 8309 exports, capturing 100% of volume (214.50M units) and value ($4.91M) in February 2025. The absence of unit price data suggests a bulk-driven market, where low-cost, high-quantity shipments define Paraguay HS Code 8309 Export dynamics. With no competing sub-codes breaking the 100% quantity and value ratios, this signals a commoditized trade reliant on scale over premium pricing.
