Exporting to Brazil
Brazil is the largest economy in South America and a strategic export destination for Dutch companies in the agri, energy, machinery, and pharmaceutical sectors. The flight time from Schiphol is approximately 11 hours to São Paulo (GRU) or Rio de Janeiro (GIG) — direct cargo flights are available.
Brazilian Customs — the most complex in the world
Brazil is internationally known as one of the most challenging customs environments. The Brazilian tax structure (including ICMS, IPI, PIS, and COFINS) is extremely complex, and the Siscomex system requires detailed electronic declarations. An incorrect HS code or missing document can cause delays of several weeks.
Points to note
- The importer needs a Brazilian CNPJ number
- Licença de Importação (LI) — import license — required for many product categories
