Colombia in the thin-trade third
Colombia's |exports-imports| is only 0% of total trade, lower-third imbalance (near parity).
Cumulative 2018-2023 ag trade for Colombia is $73.8B, a thin-third book; ordinal swings look large in percent terms even when absolute dollars stay smaller. Even at thin scale, Coffee; green still tops exports and Maize (corn) tops imports. US MFN duties follow the product's HTS classification, not origin; Colombia-origin shipments may still qualify for preferential Special rates under applicable FTAs.
