How customs clearance works

When goods arrive in Brazil, the release of the cargo at Brazilian customs begins — this is customs clearance. Based on the relevant documents — Duimp (Single Import Declaration), bill of lading (MAWB, HAWB, BL, HBL) and commercial invoice —, the importer, through a customs broker, carries out the process and pays federal taxes and duties, nationalizing the product for use or sale in Brazil.

Special Customs Regimes

Special Customs Regimes are foreign trade operations in which imports and exports benefit from tax incentives such as exemption or partial or full suspension of applicable taxes. They are regulated by articles 307 to 503 of the Brazilian Customs Regulation (Regulamento Aduaneiro – RA).

They usually apply to goods that remain in the country, or leave it temporarily, for repair, exhibitions, trade shows, services, testing, scientific purposes, or as components of other goods intended for export or used in production. The goods' stay under the regime is tied to the purpose for which they were imported, exported or purchased in the domestic market. We also specialize in Bonded Warehouse (Depósito Afiançado) operations for companies.
