How the calculation works
How do I convert ICE No.11 cents per pound to USD per tonne?
Multiply the price in US cents per pound by 22.0462. This factor comes from the number of pounds in a metric tonne (2,204.62) divided by 100 (to convert cents to dollars). So 22 USc/lb equals $484.98/t.
What import duty rates apply to raw sugar?
Duty rates vary significantly by trade regime. The EU applies zero duty on sugar from ACP countries and LDCs under the Everything But Arms agreement. The non-preferential EU tariff is approximately €339/t. The US has zero duty under CAFTA and NAFTA. Brazil, India, and Southeast Asian importers all have country-specific rates. Always check the applicable trade agreement for your origin and destination.
What ocean freight rate should I use?
Sugar freight rates depend on vessel size (Handymax vs Panamax), route, and market conditions. As a reference, Brazil to EU freight runs $35-55/t, while Thailand to Southeast Asia is $20-35/t. Use your actual contracted rate or a current broker quote for the most accurate result.
