What Brazil sold to and bought from Netherlands in January–August 2026: exports, imports, trade balance and the most traded HS4 chapters.
Brazil ran a US$ 5.24 billion trade surplus with the Netherlands in January–July 2026, exporting US$ 7.00 billion against US$ 1.76 billion in imports. Brazil sells almost four times what it buys — the widest ratio among its large European partners.
The export basket is commodities bound for Europe at large: crude oil (US$ 1.56 billion), soybeans, soybean meal, wood pulp and ferro-alloys. Much of that volume does not stay in the country — Dutch ports work as the continent's gateway, and the final destination is often elsewhere.

The country works as Europe's logistics gateway: part of the US$ 7.00 billion Brazil ships is redistributed to other destinations on the continent. That inflates the bilateral record without Dutch final consumption — when reading the figure, remember the declared destination is not always the consuming market.
