Trade lane

What Bolivia buys from Brazil.

Bolivia imported USD 1.2bn of manufactured and processed goods from Brazil in 2024, down 28 per cent on 2022. That is 18 per cent of everything Bolivia imported in these lines, and Brazil is its number 2 source. Below: the 50 largest lines, the fastest growing, where Brazil dominates, and where another country ships the same line for less a tonne.

Trade year 2024, compared with 2022. Unit values are customs values per tonne, declared at the border, not product prices.

The largest lines on the lane, by 2024 value.

Each line shows what Bolivia paid Brazil for it at the border, Brazil's share of everything Bolivia imported in that line, how it changed since 2022, and the customs unit value per tonne where the weight is recorded. Together they are 48 per cent of the lane.

Another source, lower unit value

Where another country ships the same line for at least 20 per cent less a tonne.

Lines worth USD 5m or more where Brazil's unit value is recorded and another country also ships at least USD 5m of the same line to Bolivia at a unit value at least 20 per cent lower. The largest such source is named. The same heading can hold different grades, so a lower figure is a question to ask, not a like-for-like price.

  1. Food preparations: n.e.c. in item no. 2106.10HS 210690Brazil: USD 91m at USD 15,470 a tonne. United States: USD 12m (9 per cent of the line) at USD 11,181 a tonne, 28 per cent lower. Middle of all sources: USD 11,918 a tonne.
The other side of the lane

What Bolivia buys from everyone, and what it is placed to make.

What this record says

What crossed the border, what it was worth, and what it weighed.

Every figure on this page is from CEPII's BACI file, which reconciles what each pair of countries reports to the UN about the same shipment. Trade year 2024, compared with 2022. A line is one six-digit customs heading (HS 2022). Values are in US dollars at the border; growth is in current dollars, so part of any change is price, not volume.

Unit value. Unit values are customs values per tonne, declared at the border, not product prices. It is the value of a line divided by its declared weight, so it mixes grades, models and qualities under one heading. It is shown only where the weight is recorded, at least three source countries of USD 100k or more ship the line to Bolivia with a weight, and the figure sits within a factor of five of the middle of those sources. Outside that band it is treated as a recording problem and left out.

Share is Brazil's part of everything Bolivia imported in that line, from every source. Sources counts the countries that shipped any of it.

Scope. Manufactured and processed goods, customs chapters 16 to 96, without ores, fuels, precious metals, scrap, raw farm output and one-off capital and defence purchases: the same rule as the Made here pages.

What it does not say

A record of trade, not a shopping list.

What this record does not say: what sells at retail, what margin a trade leaves, how crowded the marketplaces are, or how much of a flow is re-exported through entrepots such as Hong Kong and Singapore.

A large line is not proof of an opening, and a lower unit value from another country is not proof the goods are the same. Tariffs, standards, freight, payment terms, lead times and the plain fact that a supplier is good at it are all invisible here. Nothing on this page is a forecast, a recommendation or a promise. No supplier company is named, because the record holds none.

A sourcing alert for Brazil to Bolivia is not built yet. If it is built, it would tell you when a line on this lane shifts: a new source country, a share that moves, a unit value that changes sharply. Leave an address and you will hear when it exists, and nothing else.
