About South Sudan
South Sudan is a landlocked country located in East-Central Africa. English serves as the official language, alongside Arabic and several indigenous languages. The nation's economy is predominantly known for crude oil production and subsistence agriculture.
The spirits market
Alcohol is legal for adults aged 18, though several states enforce local spirit bans, and retail occurs through licensed commercial venues. Importers require trade licences, E-Permits, and conformity certificates, facing 5% to 25% import duties, a 35% excise duty, and an SSP 15,000 per-carton inspection fee. Domestic distillers produce gin and rectified spirits, but limited industrial capacity means South Sudan relies heavily on imported spirits. This reliance offers opportunities for exporters, despite high tax burdens and localized bans.
