2025 Mar Paraguay Metal bottle caps (HS 8309) Export Snapshot: Sharp Decline

March Trend: Paraguay Metal bottle caps Export

Metal bottle caps, classified under HS Code 8309 (Stoppers, caps and lids (including crown corks, screw caps and pouring stoppers), capsules for bottles, threaded bungs, bung covers, seals and other packing accessories, of base metal), saw exports plummet in March, with value dropping 52.6% MoM to $2.33M and volume falling 52.9% to 251.01K kg. Unit prices edged up 0.6% to $9.28/kg, but the sharp decline in shipments suggests weakening demand or supply constraints. The slump follows a 14.2% MoM drop in February, indicating a sustained downward trend. Notably, the U.S. imposed a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum products starting March 12, which may have disrupted trade flows for metal-derived goods like bottle caps. Paraguay’s export performance reflects broader market pressures in early 2025.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Bolivia dominates Paraguay's metal bottle caps exports, accounting for 48.8% of value but only 46.1% of weight, signaling a slight premium market where Bolivia likely demands higher-grade or finished specifications. Argentina and Chile follow with similar value-weight ratios (34.2% vs. 35.96% and 17.05% vs. 17.98%, respectively), suggesting balanced trade flows without significant premium or bulk dynamics. The tight alignment between value and weight shares across all top partners indicates a cost-efficient supply chain, optimized for standardized rather than high-margin trade. This structure implies Paraguay’s exports are volume-driven, with limited differentiation in product value. Strategic focus should remain on maintaining competitive pricing to sustain market share.
