Germany, known for its high-quality standards and health-focused market, is one of the top destinations for dried apricot imports in Europe. Whether you're a distributor, supermarket buyer, or food processor, sourcing bulk dried apricots from reputable suppliers is a great way to meet the growing demand for natural and nutritious snacks.

Why Germany Is a Key Market for Dried Apricots?

German consumers are increasingly choosing dried fruits as healthy alternatives to processed snacks. Dried apricots, rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, are used in:

•    Breakfast cereals and muesli

•    Baked goods and pastries

•    Snack mixes

•    Organic and health food products

Germany also serves as a gateway for re-exporting dried fruits to other EU countries, making it a strategic location for bulk trade.

Wholesale Price of Dried Apricots in Germany:

The price of dried apricots in bulk depends on several factors:

•    Origin (Iran, Turkey, Uzbekistan)

•    Grade (industrial, medium, premium)

•    Type (sun-dried, sulfur-treated, organic)

•    Packaging and shipping terms (FOB, CIF)

Estimated Wholesale Prices:

•    FOB Iran: $7,800 – $8,200 per metric ton

•    CIF Hamburg: $8,400 – $8,700 per metric ton (with transport and documentation)

For large orders, custom pricing and seasonal discounts are often available.

How to Import Dried Apricots into Germany? Step by Step:

1. Find a Trusted Supplier

Choose a supplier that can guarantee quality, proper drying and packaging standards, and provide the necessary export documents. Iranian suppliers like Tamila Agrifood are well-experienced in meeting EU demands.

2. Check EU Import Rules

Germany follows EU-wide import regulations, including:

•    Maximum residue levels (MRLs) for pesticides

•    Sulfur dioxide limits (SO₂) for non-organic dried fruits

•    Clear labeling in German for retail packages

•    Organic certifications from EU-accredited bodies

3. Shipping & Customs Clearance

Most imports are done via Hamburg port. Your customs broker or freight forwarder will help you clear the shipment with:

•    Invoice & packing list

•    Phytosanitary certificate

•    Certificate of origin

•    Health certificate

4. Local Distribution

After customs clearance, products can be distributed to wholesalers, supermarkets, organic shops, and online retailers. Consider eco-friendly and recyclable packaging in compliance with German packaging law (VerpackG).
