About ICUMSA | |
ICUMSA (International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis) is a world-wide body which brings together the activities of the National Committees for Sugar Analysis in more than thirty member countries. Work is carried out under various Subjects each headed by a Referee. ICUMSA is the only international organization concerned solely with analytical methods for the sugar industry. In addition to use by that industry, ICUMSA methods are recognized by authorities such as the Codex Alimentations Commission, the OIML, the EU, and the US Food Chemicals Codex. Methods are recommended for Tentative (T) approval by ICUMSA in the first instance. Upon meeting all the Commission's requirements, methods are accorded Official (O) status. Methods which are demonstrably useful and have found an established application, or which do not lend themselves to collaborative testing, are given an Accepted (A) status. Details of how the status of Methods has been established may be obtained by reading the relevant Proceedings. | |
ICUMSA 45 | |
Sugar trading features heavily in futures trading, and many crops are sold years before they are actually grown, sometimes up to three years before the sugar cane is even planted. Brazil refines relatively little of its sugar for export, so newcomers to the market will often find that much Brazilian ICUMSA 45 has already been sold quite some time before it was produced. For this reason, buyers looking to purchase large amounts of sugar, especially of ICUMSA 45, but also lower grade sugar often run into difficulties sourcing a reliable supplier.
According to the Brazilian SGS method of testing, ICUMSA 45 sugar is the highest quality sugar available on the market today. The quality of sugar is determined by a system devised by ICUMSA (International Commission For Uniform Methods Of Sugar Analysis), which is an international body that has sought to standardize the measurements which are used to describe sugar, so that no matter where the purchaser lives, or where the sugar source is located, an understanding of the type and quality of the sugar can be gained simply by quoting a rating, such as ICUMSA 45. Sugar is tested according to a scale of whiteness. A simplistic way of looking at ICUMSA ratings is to say that the more white a sugar is, the more refined it is. ICUMSA 45 sugar is a sparkling white, highly refined sugar, suitable for human consumption and use in a wide range of food applications. But how precisely is the whiteness of the sugar determined? In order for there to be an international standard, there needs to be a replicable scientific test to determine the ICUMSA rating of a sugar, and in order to achieve this level of precision and reliability, a colorimeter is used. A colorimeter is a piece of equipment that determines which wavelengths of light are best absorbed by a substance. This is a useful piece of equipment, and a useful testing method because it is the ability of a substance to absorb various wavelengths of light that determines its color. Therefore, if a sugar is very white and very refined, it will absorb little light, something which can be quantified by the colorimeter. To understand how this works in real world terms, think of how we humans perceive color. The human eye sees colors because certain objects absorb certain wavelengths of light, and reflect those which are not absorbed back to the eye. For example, a ball that appears blue to the human eye is simply made of a substance that absorbs all wavelengths of light apart from the blue ones, and reflects those back. The color, or rather the shade of white works similarly except for the fact that things which we perceive as being very white are actually absorbing almost no light, and instead are reflecting all the light back at the eye. Sugar tested according to ICUMSA standards is usually tested with light wavelengths of 420 nm and 560 nm, and the standard colorimeter used to analyze sugar according to ICUMSA standards is a tristimulus colorimeter, an instrument which measures several readings along what is known as the visible spectrum (simply the spectrum of light that is visible to the human eye). The output reading is then based on how much light was absorbed by the sugar sample. A low reading, such as 45, indicates highly quality refined sugar which absorbs little light and appears very white to the human eye, whereas a high reading going into the 1000 + range indicates an unrefined raw sugar which absorbs much more light, and therefore appears brown and dark.

Procedures for Sugar Contracts: - Buyer issues LOI and BCL - Seller issues FCO - Buyer returns FCO signed / stamped - Seller approves and sends the Draft Contract - Buyer // Seller sign the Contract - Buyer opens non-operative BG or SBLC to seller bank - Seller issues Performance Bond Guarantee 2% and POP to turn operative the financial instrument - Shipments starts as per contract terms. SGS INSPECTION: SGS is the worlds leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company. SGS is recognized as the global benchmark for quality and integrity. Past Performance and Proff of Products CT International does not provide history of past transactions as this is against the law and contract rules established between seller and buyer, NCNDA of ICC - non-circumvention non-disclosure agreement of International Chamber of Commerce. Many documents are used fraudulently, therefore cannot report past performance nor provide any copy of SGS inspection, certificates of origin and others. We had many problems with documents used illegally by companies / brokers who are acting in the international sugar market on our behalf without our permission. CT International does not provide proof of product anytime before contract signature and bank to bank swift with proof of funds. Please do not insist as we understand any communication that is not bank to bank has no value either for us or for the buyer. It is very easy to issue a "fake" proof of product without bank to bank communication so we don't do it. |
