## Methodology

Price = reported trade value in USD / reported quantity in metric tons. The median is calculated across reported market unit values for the same product and year. Price spread = (highest market price - lowest market price) / median market price x 100. Vs median = (market unit value - market median) / market median x 100. Price position is not a profitability claim.

Coverage: 2017-2023; 99 importer markets; 283 reported market-year observations.

## FAQ

### What does Kuwait price positioning show for HS 870324?

It compares Kuwait's reported unit values across markets with each market's median for the same product and year.

### What does above or below median mean?

Above median means the observed unit value is higher than the market median; below median means it is lower. It does not by itself indicate profit or quality.

### How is the export price calculated?

The reported unit value is trade value divided by reported quantity, expressed per metric ton when quantity is available.

### Can I compare this with the wider Vehicles: spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, cylinder capacity exceeding 3000cc market?

Yes. Use the product overview and methodology links to compare price positioning with market size, exporter reach, and reported trade history.
