Requisitos de Aduanas y Documentación
LCL shipments from Brasil require the same ISF filing (24 hours before loading) as FCL. Each LCL shipment receives a House Bill of Lading (HBL) from the NVOCC and a Master Bill of Lading (MBL) on the carrier. CBP Form 7501 formal entry is required for each importer's portion. At destination CFS, cargo is deconsolidated and made available for pickup or inland delivery. MERCOSUR certificates of origin may provide tariff benefits. VACIS exam of the consolidation container could affect all shippers' cargo in the box — a risk inherent to LCL.
Información Arancelaria Vigente
LCL cargo from Brasil is assessed the same tariff rates as FCL — determined by each importer's HTS codes. General tariff rates on Brazilian goods average 1-5%. Coffee and certain agricultural products benefit from zero tariffs under trade agreements. The minimum LCL charge is typically 1 CBM (some carriers have higher minimums). Freight rates are quoted per CBM or per ton (weight/volume, whichever is higher — using 1 CBM = 1 metric ton equivalence).

Preguntas Frecuentes
What is LCL shipping and when should I use it from Brasil?
LCL (Less than Container Load) is a consolidation service where your cargo shares a container with other shippers' goods. You pay only for the cubic meters (CBM) you use. LCL is the right choice when your shipment is under 15 CBM, when you are trialing new products, when you have mixed SKUs from multiple Brazilian suppliers, or when you cannot fill a full container. Above 15 CBM, FCL typically becomes more cost-effective.
How long does Brasil to EE.UU. LCL shipping take?
Ocean LCL from Brasil to EE.UU. takes 15-25 días total. From Santos/Paranagua to Miami: 15-18 días (the shortest LCL transit in the region). To Nueva York: 18-22 días. To Houston: 20-25 días. This includes CFS processing at origin (2-3 días), consolidation and vessel transit, and deconsolidation at destination (2-3 días). Door-to-door delivery adds 1-3 additional días.
How is LCL freight priced from Brasil to EE.UU.?
LCL freight is priced per CBM (cubic meter) or per metric ton — whichever yields the higher charge (W/M). The standard formula: 1 CBM = 1 freight ton. In addition to the per-CBM ocean rate, LCL has CFS handling charges at origin and destination, documentation fees, ISF filing, customs clearance, and any port charges.
What documents are needed for LCL from Brasil to EE.UU.?
Standard documents: commercial invoice (in Portuguese and English), packing list, bill of lading (HBL), certificate of origin. Additional requirements: ISF filing (24 horas before loading), MERCOSUR certificate of origin (if claiming tariff benefits), phytosanitary certificate (for food/agricultural products), and any product-specific certifications such as safety marks.
Can I consolidate goods from multiple Brazilian suppliers in one LCL shipment?
Yes. LCL is well-suited for consolidating goods from multiple Brazilian suppliers. We offer 'buyer's consolidation' — your agent in Brasil picks up cargo from multiple locations, brings it to our CFS, and consolidates it under one HBL. This reduces shipping costs and simplifies customs clearance at the US destination.
What happens if my LCL container is selected for CBP examination?
If the consolidation container is selected for CBP examination, all cargo in that container is affected — including cargo belonging to other shippers. VACIS X-ray scan may cause 1-2 días delay. Intensive exam may cause 5-10 días delay and incur CES handling charges that are split among all shippers in the box. This is a disadvantage of LCL compared to FCL — exam risk is shared.
Do MERCOSUR certificates provide tariff benefits to the EE.UU.?
The EE.UU. does not have a bilateral trade agreement with MERCOSUR as a bloc. However, MERCOSUR certificates of origin can be useful for customs documentation and internal tracking. Most Brazilian goods enter the EE.UU. under MFN rates. We review each product's HTS classification to identify any available duty reductions or exemptions.
What are typical tariff rates for Brazilian goods to the EE.UU.?
General tariff rates on Brazilian goods to the EE.UU. average 1-5%. Coffee and certain agriculture/mineral products have preferential rates or zero tariffs. Machinery and industrial products typically 2-6%. Footwear and apparel may be higher (8-12%). We analyze your specific products to minimize duty exposure and ensure proper HS classification.
