Feasibility and regularization
What we review before the commercial import
The factory price is not the cost in Brazil, and some products need registration before they can be sold. We look at both before production.
Feasibility, NCM and cost estimate
Before production, we turn the product description into a Brazil cost and requirements scenario.
- 1Product definitionUse, materials, dimensions, origin and sales channel.
- 2NCM code and requirementsLikely NCM code, authorities involved and missing documents.
- 3Commercial scenarioFOB price, freight, destination state and estimated landed cost.
What you send: invoice, packing list and the product's NCM code, if you have it. We check everything before shipment.
Certification and product readiness
We have worked on imports with these requirements. The path depends on each product.
- Inmetro
- Anatel
- Anvisa
- Vehicles
- Batteries
- Dangerous goods
- 1Identify the pathwayWhich authorities and requirements apply.
- 2Review source documentsFactory, components, label and manual.
- 3Coordinate the preparationSamples, tests, adaptations and documents.
- 4Confirm the commercial routeCommercial orders only after the path is approved.
We do not issue certificates or guarantee approval by authorities.
Import structures
Who imports, with whose funds, and who issues the Nota Fiscal
Four possible routes. The structure is set with your accountant before the contract.
- 01
XT Brazil imports and resells
We import the goods in our own name and resell them to your company in Brazil, in reais, with a Nota Fiscal. We confirm case by case which products can go this way.
- 02
Importação por encomenda
We import with our own funds to resell the goods to your company.
- 03
Importação por conta e ordem
We import on your company's behalf and account, with your company's funds.
- 04
Your company imports
Your company imports under its own RADAR; we handle sourcing, documents, freight and clearance. Currency exchange and payment to the supplier stay with your company.
No import structure, or a limited Siscomex capacity? We can discuss an alternative model. We also work with your own customs broker; in that case, the refund for clearance not completed does not apply.
Costs
Cost per shipment, item by item
You pay freight and import services, quoted per shipment with every cost itemized.
- International freight
- Calculated by the volume (m³) of your cargo.
- Import taxes
- II, IPI, PIS/COFINS and ICMS, by the NCM code and value of each product.
- Fixed shipment costs
- Customs broker, fees and port handling. In a shared container they are split among the participants.
- Port storage and inspection channel
- Port storage depends on cargo value and dwell time. If the cargo falls into the yellow or red channel, time and cost increase.

Client case · own supplier
They had a supplier in China; they needed someone to answer for the import
The client already had a supplier in China and hired XT Brazil for inspection, freight and customs clearance. It chose XT because the import is formal, with a Nota Fiscal, and because when a problem appears, we take it on and solve it.
Client name kept confidential.
