Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's paper and paperboard exports, accounting for 55.5% of value and 56.1% of weight, revealing a balanced Value-Volume Gap—indicating trade in standardized mid-grade products rather than premium or bulk extremes. Chile, the second-largest partner (34.9% value share vs. 33.8% weight), mirrors this equilibrium, suggesting regional demand for consistent quality. The absence of significant disparities (e.g., Value >> Weight) implies Paraguay’s exports are cost-competitive but lack premium differentiation, with supply chains optimized for steady regional throughput rather than high-margin specialization.

Paraguay HS Code 480592 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals 48059290 dominates Paraguay's April 2025 exports, accounting for 100% of volume (5.25M kg) and value ($4.07M) under HS Code 480592—uncoated mid-weight paper rolls/sheets.

The lack of sub-code diversity signals consolidated demand for standardized products, not high-value specialization.
