Nicaragua is one of Central America's most important specialty coffee origins, with around 44,000 producers growing Arabica across the mountain ranges of Jinotega, Matagalpa and Nueva Segovia. ConaCafé coordinates the national coffee sector. The European Union is a major destination for Nicaraguan specialty coffee, with Germany, Belgium and Italy as anchor buyers. Nicaragua is classified as low-risk under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1093. The simplified declaration under Annex III applies only to micro and small primary operators — individual producers who grow and harvest the commodity themselves. Cooperatives, beneficios and export companies that aggregate volume remain under the full DDS path. EUDRCheck generates the dossier in 15 minutes, browser-side. €199 per lot.

Nicaragua's coffee sector is built around small-scale producers in the highlands of Jinotega, Matagalpa and Nueva Segovia. Around 44,000 producers — mostly smallholders — grow Arabica under shade, producing washed coffees that European specialty roasters value.
The EU is one of Nicaragua's top coffee markets. Germany leads imports, followed by Belgium and Italy. Losing the EU route means losing the premium buyers.
Nicaragua is low-risk under Reg (EU) 2025/1093. But the simplified regime applies only to micro and small primary operators. Most exporters, cooperatives and beneficios aggregate volume and must file the full DDS.
Under Article 4 and Annex II, the data fields your buyer needs are defined by law.

Under Article 25, consequences apply to any operator placing non-compliant products on the EU market.
Article 25.2(a) requires Member States to impose fines with a maximum of at least 4% of the operator's or trader's total annual EU-wide turnover in the financial year preceding the fine decision. The maximum may be raised to exceed the economic benefit gained.
Article 25.2(b) and (c) — the relevant product and the revenues from its transaction may be seized by national customs and competent authorities.
Article 25.2(d) — temporary exclusion from tendering procedures, grants and concessions for a maximum of 12 months.
Article 25.2(e) — prohibition on placing relevant products on the EU market until full compliance is demonstrated. Applies to the European buyer, who will pass the consequence upstream to the non-compliant supplier.
Under Article 25.5, the European Commission publishes every final infringement decision.
