Brazil Import Export Data by NCM Code (2025-2026)

Brazil import export data by NCM: what Brazil sells and buys, with which countries, FOB price per kg and import freight, 3,038,371 monthly records.

Short answer: Brazil publishes its exports and imports by 8-digit NCM code (the Mercosur nomenclature), partner country and transport mode in its official foreign trade statistics. In 2025 Brazil exported US$348.28 billion and imported US$280.21 billion. Our Brazil foreign trade dataset brings together 3,038,371 monthly records from January 2025 to August 2026, with FOB, CIF, freight, insurance, weight and price per kg, for US$299 one time.

What the NCM code is and why it matters

The NCM (Nomenclatura Comum do Mercosul) is the 8-digit code that classifies every product traded by Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. The first 6 digits match the international Harmonized System (HS):

• 2 digits: chapter (for example 09, coffee, tea and spices).
• 4 digits: heading (0901, coffee).
• 6 digits: subheading (090111, coffee, not roasted, not decaffeinated).
• 8 digits: NCM item (09011110, green coffee beans).

Working at 8 digits lets you compare specific products rather than broad categories. The dataset contains 9,594 distinct NCM codes and 252 partner countries and territories.

What Brazil exports: the largest products of 2025

From January 2025 to August 2026, the top export destinations by FOB value were China (US$177.0 billion), the United States (61.8), Argentina (28.3), the Netherlands (20.0) and Spain (15.2).

What Brazil imports

In 2025 the largest import NCM codes were diesel (US$9.49 billion), crude oil (6.61), turbojet parts (6.12), floating drilling platforms (5.15), turbojets (4.60), potassium chloride for fertilizers (4.10) and dosed immunological products (3.61). The main origins over the period were China (US$122.5 billion), the United States (72.5), Germany (24.5), Argentina (21.6) and Russia (16.6).

For imports, the dataset also includes CIF value, freight and insurance for all 1,538,518 import rows: in 2025 freight averaged 4.7% of FOB value and insurance 0.09%. That makes it useful for landed cost estimates, not only for market sizing.

Brazil import export data by NCM for exporters to Brazil

If you sell to Brazil from the US, Europe or Asia, the import side answers three practical questions: how big the market for your NCM code is, which countries already supply it, and at what FOB price per kg. Filter flujo = Importación, your ncm, and group by pais_socio and periodo to see your competitors' origin countries month by month.

837,921 rows involve Latin American and Caribbean partners (socio_latinoamerica = true). The top Latin American destinations for Brazilian exports were Argentina (US$28.33 billion), Mexico (13.44), Chile (11.62), Paraguay (6.81), Colombia (6.23), Uruguay (5.92) and Peru (5.74). On the import side: Argentina (21.58), Mexico (11.31), Chile (8.15), Paraguay (5.72) and Colombia (3.43).

FOB price per kg: a coffee example

Price per kg (FOB value divided by net weight) is a practical reference to quote or to spot out-of-range shipments. For green coffee beans (NCM 09011110) in 2025:

The average price of exported coffee went from US$6.55 per kg in 2025 to US$6.10 in January to August 2026. Frozen beef rose from US$5.28 to US$6.01 per kg, and soybeans stayed around US$0.40 to 0.42 per kg.

How to analyze trade for one product in 6 steps

1. Find your NCM. Search descripcion_ncm or filter by the leading digits in capitulo_sa, partida_sa and subpartida_sa.
2. Filter the flow. flujo = Exportación (export) or Importación (import).
3. Group by country and month. pais_socio and periodo give you the monthly series per market.
4. Compute a weighted price per kg. Sum FOB and sum weight, then divide; do not average the precio_fob_usd_por_kg column row by row.
5. Compare transport modes. The dataset has 1,476,755 maritime rows, 1,212,250 air rows and 266,575 road rows.
6. Compare with other countries. To see what your other target markets buy, use the UN Comtrade panel for 20 countries described below.

Brazil, Paraguay and the rest of the region: which dataset to use

The Paraguay file is the most granular: each declaration line carries the declared brand (43,410 distinct brands), origin country, customs office and taxes paid. The UN Comtrade panel gives the regional picture; we cover it in UN Comtrade data for Latin America as CSV.

Official sources

• Brazil: foreign trade statistics from the Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services (MDIC), published through its Comex Stat system.
• Paraguay: open data from the national tax and customs authority, aduana.gov.py.
• Regional: UN Comtrade, statistics reported by each country.

Our files add ISO country codes, HS chapter, heading and subheading columns and a computed price per kg. Column names and product descriptions are in Spanish.
