GUIDE AND CHECK LISTS:
for those who are starting to import and export and still have no doubts about the ideal steps.

Para encontrar um novo fornecedor internacional com segurança e previsibilidade, é fundamental adotar um processo técnico estruturado que vá além da simples comparação de preços em plataformas online. A escolha do parceiro comercial correto influencia diretamente não apenas na qualidade do produto, mas também na viabilidade logística, no cumprimento das normas de importação e na previsibilidade tributária. Um processo bem conduzido inclui a correta classificação fiscal do produto (NCM), a verificação da capacidade produtiva do fornecedor, a análise documental de conformidade regulatória e a avaliação das condições de negociação sob os Incoterms mais adequados. Além disso, a simulação antecipada de todos os custos — impostos, taxas de terminal, frete internacional e transporte interno — é indispensável para reduzir riscos e assegurar que a operação seja lucrativa.
Why choose international shipping?
Maritime transport stands out for its ability to move large volumes at low costs, making it the preferred mode for intercontinental operations, especially on routes between Asia and South America. A typical shipment between China, Vietnam, or South Korea and Brazilian ports has an estimated transit time of between 35 and 45 calendar days, depending on the connection logistics and transshipment services.
Furthermore, maritime transport allows for the use of specific logistics solutions, such as:
-National cabotage, which reduces costs and reduces highway congestion;
-Break Bulk, ideal for indivisible or large cargo;
-Out-of-Gauge projects, which require custom-built structures outside of conventional container standards.
Why choose international shipping?
- FCL (Full Container Load)
The FCL option is recommended when the importer or exporter has enough cargo to fill a full container. In addition to speeding up shipping and customs clearance, this option minimizes the risk of damage and reduces logistical handling, as the cargo belongs exclusively to a single owner. Operational independence allows for greater control over documentation and deadlines.
