How to import coffee from Colombia ?

Colombian coffee is known to be of high quality and to have a unique taste due to the climatic conditions and cultivation methods used in Colombia.


Whether you are in Time Square or on 8th Avenue in New York, in front of the Reishtag in Berlin, in front of the Trevi Fountain or the Colosseum in Rome, in the center of Tokyo, or even in the heart of Toronto or Montreal, you will be able to enjoy a Colombian coffee because the United States, Europe (especially Spain, Italy and Germany), Japan and Canada are the main importers of coffee from Colombia. 


Importing coffee from Colombia involves several steps and requirements. Here are the general steps:


  • Research and select a reliable coffee exporter in Colombia: Look for a reputable coffee exporter who can provide you with high-quality coffee beans and manage the logistics of exporting the coffee to your country.
  • Obtain necessary licenses and permits: You will need to obtain import licenses and permits from your government, as well as comply with any regulations and requirements for importing coffee.
  • Clarify your requirements and negotiate prices: Specify the type of coffee beans you want to import, the quantity, and any other requirements such as packaging and shipping. Negotiate prices with the exporter.
  • Arrange for shipping and logistics: Once you have agreed on the terms of the contract, arrange for the shipping of the coffee beans to your country, and ensure that all the necessary paperwork and customs procedures are taken care of.
