Accelerate Your Sugar Supply Chain Across the Americas
From Center-South Brazilian mills to destination ports worldwide — vetted origination, disciplined contract structure, and inspected delivery on every shipment.
Overview
Bridging producers and buyers with verifiable execution
Aerisus bridges the gap between South American sugar producers and qualified global buyers. We maintain working relationships with refineries and mills across Brazil's Center-South belt and neighboring origins, qualifying each on production capacity, export track record, and quality-assurance standards before a single offer is issued.
Every transaction we structure runs on the same discipline: a real allocation, a binding contract under recognized frameworks, independent inspection at the port of origin, and documentary payment through established banking channels. No shortcuts, no improvised procedures.
Our TradeIQ™ platform supports the physical trade with freight-rate forecasting, route optimization, and automated document and compliance checks — so cargo moves faster, at lower landed cost, with full visibility from mill to destination.
Capabilities
What you get with Aerisus origination
Vetted Origin Network
Direct mill and refinery relationships across Brazil's Center-South export belt — the origin behind roughly 44% of global sugar export value — plus secondary origins for flexibility.
Full Grade Coverage
ICUMSA 45 refined white sugar for direct consumption and industrial use; VHP raw sugar (ICUMSA 600–1,200) for destination refiners. Specifications published, inspected, and contractually warranted.
Flexible Cargo Sizing
Container programs from single FCL (~26 MT) through trial bulk parcels of 12,500 MT and term contracts with monthly liftings — sized to your offtake, not our convenience.
AI-Driven Freight Strategy
TradeIQ™ forecasts freight rates and recommends carrier and routing decisions across sea, rail, and road legs, balancing cost, transit time, and reliability.
Dynamic Tariff Management
Automated duty and quota calculations across U.S., Mexican, and Mercosur entry regimes keep landed-cost models accurate before you commit.
Comprehensive Compliance Handling
Export permits, phytosanitary and fumigation certificates, certificates of origin, and destination-market marking requirements handled as part of the transaction — not as an afterthought.
Process
How a shipment moves
A disciplined four-stage path from qualification to delivered cargo.
Source & Qualify
Producing partners are vetted on milling capacity, export history, certifications, and quality systems. Buyers complete standard KYC before offers are issued — protecting both sides of the trade.
Contract Structuring
Quantity, grade, packaging, laycan, and destination are fixed in a Sales & Purchase Agreement under Incoterms 2020 — typically FOB Santos or CIF/CFR destination — with payment by documentary letter of credit under ICC UCP 600.
Inspection & Loading
Independent inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas, or Intertek) verifies quality, quantity, and packaging at the port of origin. Certificates of quality, weight, origin, and analysis travel with the documentary package.
Shipment & Settlement
Cargo ships bagged in containers or in bulk parcels. Documents are routed bank-to-bank; payment settles against the bill of lading and inspection certificates. TradeIQ™ tracks the vessel to berth.

FAQ
Common Questions
What grades of sugar does Aerisus supply?
ICUMSA 45 refined white cane sugar and VHP raw sugar (ICUMSA 600–1,200) are our core book. Intermediate grades such as ICUMSA 100 and 150 are available on request against confirmed demand.
What is your minimum order quantity?
Container programs start at practical commercial volumes — typically multiple FCL. Bulk business generally begins at a 12,500 MT trial parcel, scaling to monthly term liftings once performance is established on both sides.
Which Incoterms do you trade on?
Most business is concluded FOB (named loading port, typically Santos) or CIF/CFR destination under Incoterms 2020. Other terms can be structured case by case.
How is payment handled?
By irrevocable documentary letter of credit issued through a recognized bank under ICC UCP 600, or standby instruments for term contracts. We do not operate advance-fee procedures.
