What Brazil sold to and bought from Germany in January–August 2026: exports, imports, trade balance and the most traded HS4 chapters.
Brazil ran a US$ 4.69 billion trade deficit with Germany in January–July 2026, exporting US$ 4.01 billion against US$ 8.70 billion in imports. Brazil buys more than twice what it sells — the widest relative imbalance among its major European partners.
The asymmetry is one of technological content: Brazilian exports concentrate in coffee (US$ 921.7 million), copper ores and soybean meal, while imports are led by blood products, medicaments and heterocyclic compounds — the chemical-pharmaceutical complex accounts for much of the bill. Browse the SH4 chapters below to drill into a specific commodity.
In trade with Germany, Brazil closed January–August 2026 with a deficit of US$ 5.51B.
Brazil sold US$ 4.60B and bought US$ 10.11B, across 1,039 SH4 headings with data.
Brazil carries a US$ 4.69 billion deficit: US$ 4.01 billion exported against US$ 8.70 billion imported. Imports run at 2.2 times exports, the highest ratio among Brazil's main European partners in the window.
Coffee leads at US$ 921.7 million, followed by copper ores (US$ 902.8 million) and soybean meal (US$ 297.9 million). Coffee and copper are nearly tied and together reach US$ 1.82 billion, about 45% of everything Brazil sold to the country in the period.
Human and animal blood products lead at US$ 746.6 million, followed by medicaments (US$ 691.9 million) and heterocyclic compounds (US$ 561.1 million). All three sit in the chemical-pharmaceutical complex and total US$ 2.00 billion, nearly a quarter of the US$ 8.70 billion import bill.
The US$ 4.69 billion gap comes from composition, not volume: Brazil sells agricultural and mineral commodities — coffee and copper alone are 45% of the basket — and buys pharmaceuticals, chemicals and auto parts, all with far higher unit value. The 1,027 active SH4 chapters show breadth, but the value concentrates on the import side.
