Can US, Canadian and Mexican companies import commodities directly from Brazil?
Yes. Brazil is the leading coffee supplier to the United States and the main source of the orange juice Americans drink. Buyers across the US, Canada and Mexico import Brazilian green coffee, FCOJ and NFC orange juice, sugar, corn, soybeans, soybean meal, rice and vegetable oils on FOB, CFR or CIF terms.
When the US applied an additional tariff of at least 25% on Brazilian goods from 15 July 2026, green and roasted coffee, orange juice, citrus pulp and many fruits were placed on the exemption list. Kolash Group, based in São Paulo, handles sourcing, contracts, inspection, documents and shipment to your port.
