Specialized Customs Clearance: Compliance, Efficiency and Competitive Advantage
In the regulated scenario of Brazilian foreign trade, the role of the Customs Broker authorized by the Federal Revenue Service (art. 808 of Decree 6,759/2009) is decisive in ensuring operational fluidity, legal security and tax optimization in each import or export operation.
Why Hire a Qualified Customs Broker?
Brazilian customs legislation grants customs brokers legal representation powers before all relevant agencies, giving them an essential role in foreign trade transactions.
More than just a process executor, the broker is a qualified interpreter of the law, acting as a liaison between the company and the government. They are responsible for ensuring that each stage of import or export operations fully complies with applicable regulations.
- Legal Representation before the Federal Revenue Service
Accredited by Siscomex, the broker signs declarations, is jointly liable for the information provided and defends the importer or exporter in possible tax demands.
- Multidisciplinary Competence that Reduces Costs
Expertise in tax classification, special regimes, international taxation, and logistics allows us to identify opportunities to reduce tax burdens and avoid customs clearance delays.

Special Customs Regimes: Smart Taxation
Brazil has more than ten special customs regimes that allow for the suspension or reduction of taxes when properly applied, representing a significant competitive advantage for companies operating in foreign trade.
Regimes such as Drawback, Temporary Admission, Bonded Warehouse, Recof, Linha Azul, among others, are instruments created to encourage industrialization, exports, and logistical efficiency. When used strategically and in compliance with legislation, these mechanisms can generate significant savings on taxes such as II, IPI, PIS, COFINS, and ICMS.
