Germany holds 9.3% of reported world imports for the chapter. The United States is ahead at $16.5B, while the United Kingdom follows at $5.2B. That makes Germany a solid number two rather than one of a pack of close contenders, and its position is unlikely to flip on small reporting changes.
For a seller it means the market is large enough to justify dedicated effort, and sits well above the cluster of mid-sized buyers in the ranking.
Total imports are $1.38T, and this chapter makes up 0.6% of them, ranking 29th among Germany’s own import chapters. Electrical machinery, industrial machinery, vehicles, fuels and pharmaceuticals dominate the bill.
Overall suppliers are led by China, the USA, the Netherlands and Poland. Those are all-goods partners, not a supplier list for this commodity, and the presence of neighbouring countries hints that some goods arrive through European trading hubs and are then re-distributed.
Before quoting, ask the buyer for their specification and confirm the current plant-health and food-safety rules with the competent authority. Check labelling expectations for the retail or industrial channel they serve.
Then fix the commercial terms explicitly: Incoterm, currency, payment instrument, discharge port and inland delivery.
The $8.8B covers the whole of HS chapter 07, edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers, so pulses are only a share of it. Rankings are declared by each reporting country for its latest year and can be distorted by re-exports and gaps in reporting.
