Choose the best freight forwarder to transport your goods to Brazil safely and on time.

Exporting goods to Brazil, whether it is for the first time, or on a regular basis, can be a challenging experience. There are many elements to consider when shipping to a country such as Brazil.
If you are in Canada or the US and not entirely familiar with the Latin American market, you should consider a cargo shipping company that knows the business culture, the language, the customs regulations and has a proven track record of success when it comes to shipping to Brazil.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT IN BRAZIL?

Regulations in Brazil are not only very different from the ones in the US or Canada, communication methods and business etiquette are also very distinct:
● Corporate culture in Brazil is relationship-driven. Known as warm and friendly people, Brazilians are generally recognized for being easy to deal with. They attach great importance to developing personal relationships, rather than formal business connections which is the norm in the US or Canada. Therefore, when you do business in Brazil, it is important to develop easy-going business “friendships”. Brazilians tend to be very cautious to avoid being taken advantage of or cheated while transacting business. Third-party contacts are also a key to business success in Brazil. An established person vouching for you and presenting your company will help you gain trust in the market.
The style and methods of communication can be a challenge (apart from learning the language) as verbal agreements and handshakes sometimes take the place of written contracts.
● Flexibility and spontaneity are also common traits of Brazilians and they have a different perception of time management - often more relax - than American and European business people.
● It is also important to consider the language as a possible barrier. Although most highly-educated business executives speak English fluently, the average person speaks only Portuguese.

IMPORT AND CUSTOM PARTICULARS

If you are sending merchandise to Brazil by sea or air for the first time, guidance and support will surely be needed, as there are guidelines, prohibitions and restrictions to consider.

WHAT PAPERWORK IS NEEDED FOR INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS TO BRAZIL?


Documentation requirements vary depending on the category of goods being shipped, and can get quite extensive. They usually include: Commercial invoice, Bill of lading / Air waybill, Packing list, Insurance certificate, Certificate of Origin (if required). To avoid delays or hassles when shipping to Brazil, your packing list must be as detailed as possible. Vague wording like “miscellaneous” attracts negative attention and further inspections.

WHAT ARE THE REGULATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS WHEN SHIPPING TO BRAZIL?


Regulations can be strict on certain categories of goods being imported to Brazil. Prior authorization or special permits may be needed for certain items such as agricultural products, processed foods, pharmaceutical, cosmetics or antiques. Prohibited commodities include certain used vehicles, used clothing and accessories, used tires, certain used machinery and all types of toxic wastes or dangerous residues.

Duties and tariffs are usually based on the total value of the shipment in question, and depending on how well-documented the cargo is, those values could be determined by the judgment of Customs Officials on the spot.
