Product line 04
Juices and soft drinks, wholesale export from Spain
Natural juice, nectars, carbonated lemonade and iced tea from Spanish producers, in carton and PET. Ambient, high pallet density, and the line we ship most of.
The line
Our largest line, by a wide margin
65 tons of juice a month currently leaves Valencia for Georgia. Nothing else we carry moves in that volume, and it is the line where our loading and routing is most practised.
It is also the easiest line to start with. Juice is ambient, it has a long shelf life, it stacks densely on a pallet, and it needs no reefer, so a first container of juice is the cheapest way for a new buyer to test the route and the paperwork.
Because juice does not need temperature control, it loads with snacks, plant-based drinks, olive oil, sauces and confectionery in a single standard container. Most mixed orders are built around it.
What is in the line
Four product groups, all ambient
Most items are available in more than one format, so the pack weight and case count are confirmed against your order rather than fixed here.
| Product group | Detail | Origin | Storage | Formats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Natural juice | Not from concentrate and from concentrate, single fruit and blends | Spain | Ambient | Carton 1 L, PET, small format |
| Nectars and juice drinks | Reduced juice content, sweetened and unsweetened | Spain | Ambient | Carton 1 L, PET, small format |
| Carbonated lemonade | Citrus and mixed fruit carbonates | Spain | Ambient | PET, can |
| Iced tea | Peach, lemon and mixed | Spain | Ambient | Carton, PET |
These are confirmed per order and per manufacturer, because nearly every item above exists in several formats and the right one depends on whether it is going to a retail shelf or a kitchen. Ask for the specification sheet on any group and we will send the exact pack data before you quote your own customer. Prices are quoted per order, never listed, because they move with volume, Incoterm and destination.

Manufacturers in this line
Three producers
Spanish juice production at industrial scale, which is what makes the volumes and the price work on a full container.
Which of these we can ship into your market depends on the representation agreement in place there. Tell us your country with your list and we will confirm brand by brand before you quote anything to your own customer.
Documents for this category
Plant origin, so the certificate changes
Juice does not need a veterinary certificate. What it needs instead is phytosanitary documentation where the destination requires it for products of plant origin.
- Phytosanitary certificate For products of plant origin, issued by the competent Spanish authority for the consignment.
- EUR1 movement certificate Establishes preferential origin where the trade agreement between the EU and your country provides for it, which is usually what makes the duty calculation work.
- Manufacturer certification Food safety certification is held by the producing establishment, not by us. We tell you which manufacturer holds what for the items on your list.
- Shelf life declaration Long ambient shelf life is what makes this line work on distant routes, so the production and expiry dating is confirmed against your transit time before we load.
It is a distinction your authority will make, so we make it too. VLC TRADE GROUP SL is the exporter of record and prepares the export documentation. IFS, BRC, ISO 22000, HACCP, halal and kosher belong to the manufacturer and to the individual product.

Why buyers start with juice
No reefer, no cold chain
A standard dry container. That removes the single largest cost and the single largest risk from a first shipment.
It stacks well
Cartons palletise densely and predictably, so you get a full container of sellable stock rather than a container of air.
Long shelf life absorbs long transit
The road and rail routes to Central Asia take weeks. Ambient juice does not care.
Then build the rest of the order around it
Snacks, plant-based drinks, sauces and olive oil all share the ambient regime and fill the remaining space in the same box.
Questions we get
Juices and soft drinks, answered
What is the minimum order?
One full container. It does not have to be one product. You can mix this line with any other line we carry into the same container, which is what most of our buyers do.
Why is juice the line you recommend first?
It is ambient, so no reefer and no cold chain risk. It has a long shelf life, so transit time is not a problem. It stacks densely, so a container carries a lot of sellable stock. For a buyer testing a new supplier and a new route, it is the lowest risk way to do it.
Can I mix juice with other product lines?
Yes, and most buyers do. Anything else ambient loads in the same container: snacks and confectionery, plant-based drinks, olive oil, sauces, wine. Chilled and frozen lines need their own box.
Is it available not from concentrate?
Both not from concentrate and from concentrate are produced, along with nectars at lower juice content. Tell us which specification you sell and we will quote the matching item.
What does it cost?
Price is quoted per order, because it moves with volume, Incoterm and destination. Send your product list and your destination country and we come back with a quote, a loading plan and the document set.
