Looking to sell your spirits brand in Brazil? 🇧🇷 Looking to sell your spirits brand in Brazil? 🇧🇷
Brazil is one of the world’s largest spirits markets — and a significant market for Scotch whisky — but entering it successfully is rarely straightforward.
Import requirements, taxation, pricing, distributor selection and route-to-market can quickly turn an attractive opportunity into an expensive learning curve.
On Tuesday 22 September at 2pm BST, I’ll be hosting a live ‘Selling Spirits in Brazil: The Complete Market Entry Guide’ webinar with two people who bring very different perspectives from inside the Brazilian market:
Alex Campos — Founder & Director, Single Malt Brasil
Mauricio Leme — Head of Spirits Division, Grupo La Pastina – Brasil
Together, we’ll cover:
🇧🇷 Brazil spirits market and consumer outlook
🚢 Routes to market
🤝 Finding and selecting the right importer/distributor
📑 Import requirements, documentation & compliance
💰 Pricing, taxes and commercial realities
⏱ Typical market-entry timelines
⚠️ Common mistakes to avoid
The format will be deliberately practical: 45 minutes of market-entry insight followed by 15 minutes of live Q&A.
When registering, you can also tell us the areas you’re most interested in and submit questions in advance, so we can tailor the discussion around the issues participants actually want addressed.
Early Bird tickets: £69 until 27 August.
🎟️ Register here:

If Brazil is on your export radar, I hope you can join us.
