The objective of this research article is to determine the positioning and commercial dynamics of the department of Santander (Colombia) in the year 2020 through the application of the indicators of commercial concentration at the product level, proportions in world commercial exchanges, number of destinations/main origins, Relative Commercial Balance Index-IBCR and the Balassa index. An analytical and deductive method is used, in which initially the export behavior of the department of Santander is analyzed by chapters of the customs tariff, in order to select the exportable offer based on this behavior. Then, the first 5 tariff chapters are taken as the exportable basket of the department of Santander, according to the participation and export dynamics in the year 2020. Among the main results, the high level of concentration of Santander's exports in the year 2020 stands out, where oil and coffee occupy 64% of the total exports of the department.
