How it works A staged path in
You never commit to the big engagement first.
Brazil entry is high-stakes, so we've built the way in to be low-risk. Three steps, each one earning the next. You can stop after any of them and keep something you can use — clarity, a plan, or a shipment through the door.
What actually happens In order
What actually happens, in order
The order is fixed, not the calendar. We don't quote a turnaround we haven't measured; the Diagnostic sets it.
The check
Six questions. You learn whether you already have a way to import, and what your equipment is likely to trigger.
The Diagnostic conversation, then the written go/no-go
A document your board can read: what would go wrong, in what order, and what it costs to prevent.
The unglamorous middle
Schematics the broker needs to classify. The packing list rebuilt pallet by pallet with serial numbers. Plastic pallets specified, so no untreated wood can hold the container. Commercial terms fixed so duty and tax responsibility sit with the right party on paper, not by assumption.
The go/no-go
A booked shipment can be held for one missing document. The reason is written down before you hear it. A week at origin is cheaper than a month at the port.
Clearance, then the handoff
The same documents we ran the shipment on become the playbook your coordinator runs next time.
The Readiness Check
A straight, specific read on what Brazil entry actually requires for your equipment — before anything ships and before you spend a cent.
- Which Brazilian certifications likely apply to your product (Anatel, INMETRO, and others)
- Whether you already have import capacity, or need to build it
- Roughly how hard and how long entry will be — specific to your shipment
It's directional, not a determination — the fastest way to know where you stand. Six questions, two minutes, no sales call.
Take the 2-minute readiness checkThe Entry Diagnostic
Where directional becomes definitive. A fixed-fee, fixed-scope diagnostic — the go/no-go, in writing, before you commit capital.
- Your classification and duty position under the rules as they stand — including whether ex-tarifário or other relief is worth pursuing
- The full certification and homologation map for your equipment, with the pre-shipment steps that gate it
- The import structure that fits your entry — own CNPJ and RADAR, a trading-company route, or another path — with the control and tax consequences of each
- A sequenced plan: dependencies, decision gates, and a realistic cost and timeline envelope
You walk away with a decision you can defend to your board — whether or not you go further with us.
Execution & Handoff
We own the entry sequence end to end, get your first compliant shipment landed, and hand your team a repeatable process — then step out.
- One point of control across brokers, tax and regulatory advisors, counsel, and logistics — and the go/no-go call on when goods move
- Pre-shipment compliance and sequencing so nothing stalls at the port
- Your first compliant shipment or deployment, delivered
- A documented, repeatable entry process your team runs without us
We're paid to make ourselves unnecessary, not to become your importer.
Why staged Risk, in the right order
Most Brazil-entry failures are expensive because the commitment came before the clarity. We put the clarity first.
Clarity before capital
You know what entry requires — and what it costs — before you commit to it, not after your equipment is already at the port.
Stop anywhere with value
Each step stands on its own. A read, a defensible plan, a shipment through the door — you keep what you paid for at every stage.
One owner, accountable
The same principal who reads your check is accountable for the go/no-go — no handoff, no diffusion of responsibility.
