In order to improve the exchange of information, cargo delivery time and minimize the additional costs and losses, GLOBEX LOGISTICS, your Pangea partner in Brazil is pleased to present a summary of important procedures when shipping to Brazil.
Brazil is a major importer of finished products and with a great growth potential, however, customs control is still a barrier and any operational shipping mistake may cause delays, high costs and huge penalties.
The penalties are extremely high and applied even for simple omissions or minor errors on the shipping documents and cargo information. Fines may reach up to 200% of the cargo CIF value and / or incur on loss of all goods.
To avoid such fines and penalties, the GLOBEX Team suggests all partners to check the cargo in advance by verifying the number of packages, dimensions, weight and identification labels containing shipper/consignee information, bill of lading/air waybill numbers, weight and volume details. Cargo weight discrepancies is a major issue that affects almost all importers in Brazil, the legislation only accepts a maximum difference of 5% between the declared and verified weight.
They also suggest verifying the pertinent documents that should contain all information of buyer, seller, cargo information, Incoterm and cargo value.
If any errors are found, all the necessary corrections must be made before shipping the cargo to Brazil.
Please feel free to contact your partners for any questions and/or further information.
