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; 183 importer markets; 704 reported market-year observations. ## FAQ ### What does USA, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands price positioning show for HS 853670? It compares USA, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands'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 Connectors for optical fibres, optical fibre bundles or cables market? Yes. Use the product overview and methodology links to compare price positioning with market size, exporter reach, and reported trade history. ## Complete structured values { "pageType":
