Morocco is above at $1.5B and Algeria below at $1.2B. Spain’s 2.1% share of reported world imports keeps it a step ahead of Algeria. The chapter is 0.3% of its $451.3B imports and ranks 53rd among import chapters.
Spain refines imported raw cane sugar in coastal plants, alongside its own beet processing, and its refined sugar and sweet products supply neighbouring markets in southern Europe and North Africa. The two countries just above and below it in the table are both North African markets, which shows the regional trade in sugar and related goods.
Ask the importer whether it refines, trades or manufactures, and which market its output serves. Sugar sold into North Africa may follow different payment customs from sales inside Europe, so clarify credit terms and the security you will need before you accept an order. Ask the importer how its purchasing links with its own sales into other markets, because a buyer supplying North African customers may want documents and packing that suit those destinations.
Quotas, duties and preferences for sugar imports into Europe are set by the authorities and revised over time, so confirm the present position with them and with the importer. Germany, China, France and Italy lead Spain’s overall source list, which covers all goods.
The $1.3B covers all of chapter 17, and re-exports can move a market’s place.
