## 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; 31 importer markets; 91 reported market-year observations.

## FAQ

### What does South Africa price positioning show for HS 710239?

It compares South Africa'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 Diamonds: non-industrial, (other than unworked or simply sawn, cleaved or bruted), but not mounted or set market?

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