A Buyer’s Guide to ICUMSA 45 Sugar

Everything international buyers need to know about specifications, pricing, and sourcing of refined sugar.

ICUMSA 45 refined white sugar is the global standard for high-quality refined sugar, characterized by its 45 ICUMSA color rating, polarization above 99.8%, and minimal moisture content. It’s the preferred sugar for direct consumption, beverage manufacturing, and confectionery production.

Major origins include Brazil, Thailand, India, and increasingly East African producers. Pricing typically tracks the New York #11 raw sugar futures plus a refining premium, with current FOB levels ranging between $480-$540 per metric ton depending on origin and packaging.

Standard packaging options include 50kg PP bags, 1MT jumbo bags, and 25kg consumer-ready bags. Container loading capacity is approximately 26 MT in 20ft containers and 27-28 MT in 40ft containers depending on packaging type.

We supply ICUMSA 45 sugar with complete documentation including SGS quality certificates, phytosanitary certificates, and certificates of origin. Minimum order quantities start at one 20ft container, with regular monthly contracts available for larger buyers.
