What does Brazil-side coordination include?
It covers everything that has to happen in Brazil for a shipment to move: arrival, customs, inland transport and delivery — or the reverse for exports.
- Coordination with carriers, terminals, ports and airports in Brazil
- Customs clearance coordination for imports and exports
- Inland transport to or from the Brazilian consignee or shipper
- Documentation follow-up and milestone updates
- Exception management: holds, inspections, delays and re-planning
Why foreign companies work with a partner in Brazil
Brazil has its own customs systems, document requirements and port dynamics; a local partner reduces surprises.
Import and export processes run on the Portal Único Siscomex, product-specific licenses may apply, and port and terminal costs vary widely. A partner on the ground anticipates these points and communicates them clearly in English or Spanish.
