About El Salvador
El Salvador is located in Central America, bordered by Guatemala, Honduras, and the Pacific Ocean. Spanish is the official and predominant language spoken throughout the country. Its economy is known for agricultural products such as coffee and sugar, alongside manufacturing, textiles, and commerce.
The spirits market
Commercial alcohol is legal for adults aged 18, with sales regulated through municipal permits and imports managed by entities registered with the SRS and Customs. Local producers primarily manufacture aguardiente, rum, vodka, liqueurs, and neutral alcohol. Importers face standard duties of 20% to 30%—or 0% under CAFTA-DR—plus specific excise rates, an 8% ad valorem tax, and 13% IVA. Recent 2026 excise tax reductions on whisky and gin offer expanded commercial opportunities for foreign spirit suppliers.
