Source the right product, not just another supplier
China sourcing with formal import and delivery in Brazil
We find the factory, check the goods before shipment and import them with a Nota Fiscal. You buy from a Brazilian company, in reais. Already have a supplier? We handle only the import.
Either way, the import is formal, with a Nota Fiscal, and customs clearance is handled by our own team.

Costs
How we calculate the import cost
There is no single price list: cost depends on volume, NCM code and the value of each product. That is why every shipment gets a quotation with each 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, split in a shared container.
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.
Start small
A shared container every month, from about 5 m³
To test a product you do not need to fill a whole container. Small lots join the month's shared container.
When the product sells, you move to a dedicated container and to recurring supply.
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.
Guarantees
What we take on, and how you follow it
The import is handled by the same company that answers for it.
RefundIf the customs clearance handled by our team is not completed, we refund the value of the goods and the freight.

Client cases
How clients work with us
Different starting points, the same formal import with a Nota Fiscal.
Client case · from test to recurring supply
From a test order to two containers a month
The client started with a small order to test the product in its own channel. Once sales were proven, it moved to buying from China with XT Brazil and now receives two containers a month.
Identity withheld
Client case · cost and risk
Lower cost and less risk than importing alone
The client compared importing on its own with our price per item delivered in Brazil, with freight, taxes and clearance included, and buying through us came out better value. It also lowered the risk: a formal import, a Nota Fiscal on every purchase and a company in Brazil that answers for the process. If the customs clearance handled by our team is not completed, we refund the goods and the freight.
Identity withheld
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.
Identity withheld
Client case · inspection
No team in China, so we check the goods
The client bought from China with no one to check the goods before shipment. Our team now inspects product, quantity, packaging and labels at the factory, and the goods only ship after that check.
Identity withheld
Client case · shared stock
Stock built together, bought locally in Brazil
For some products we build the stock together with the client. The goods stay in our São Paulo stock and the client buys locally as it sells, without waiting for a new import.
Identity withheld
Client names are kept confidential.
Categories we already work with
Cleaning tools
Tools and hardware
Bags and travel goods
Pet accessories
Agricultural drones and batteries
Electric cargo tricycles
Other products are taken on after a review of the product and the volume.
