How to Import Brazilian Sugar into Spain (EU)

Spain is an active EU market and a gateway to the Mediterranean and North Africa. Here's how Brazilian ICUMSA 45 and VHP reach Spain — grades, ports, and the EU import rules that shape landed cost.

Why Spain buys Brazilian sugar

Spain combines domestic food-industry demand with a role as an EU entry point and a re-export gateway toward North Africa. Refiners and manufacturers source competitive origins, and Brazil is a recurring one.

Grade fit

Refiners import VHP raw sugar; food manufacturers, packers and distributors import refined ICUMSA 45. We supply both.

EU import rules to confirm

The EU regulates sugar imports through duties and preferential quotas that depend on origin. Standard (MFN) cane-sugar imports from Brazil carry an import duty — confirm the current tariff and any quota with your EU customs agent before contracting, as it materially affects landed cost.

Ports & delivery

Cargo loads at Santos or Paranaguá and typically ships CIF to Barcelona, Valencia or Algeciras, in containers or bulk depending on volume.
