Customs Clearance

What is Customs Clearance?

A procedure through which all merchandise originating from and/or destined abroad must be submitted to the Federal Revenue for entry and exit of the Brazilian territory.

All companies that wish to import or export a product need a Customs Broker to take care of the legal part of the process with the customs authorities.

Import

We offer our Clients the Import Management service, with all the procedures that precede the boarding of the merchandise. The importer makes the purchase and provides us their details (price, volume, incoterm, payment conditions, boarding forecast, the ports of origin and destination, etc.).

From there on, we communicate with the exporter, hiring the international freight, making the follow-up of the cargo and documentation, and following the clearance process along with the brokers until the delivery of the cargo at the final destination indicated by the importer. This service may be performed at the Yes Focus premises or the Client's house (In House).
