貨物輸送 中国 → ブラジル

Ocean freight from China to Brazil takes 35–50 days for FCL. Shanghai to Santos is typically 38–45 days; Ningbo to Itajaí is 38–48 days; Shenzhen to Paranaguá is 40–50 days. LCL adds 5–7 days for consolidation and deconsolidation. Add another 7–14 days for Brazilian customs clearance via Siscomex, depending on the customs channel assigned (green is same-day release; red means full inspection). Air freight from China to São Paulo Guarulhos takes 5–9 days, plus 3–5 days for customs release.

Santos handles approximately 40% of Brazil's national container volume and offers the best frequency of consolidated LCL services from China. Itajaí and Navegantes, both in Santa Catarina state, have a historically favorable ICMS regime for certain product categories under SC state rules, which can reduce the overall landed cost for importers delivering to southern Brazil. The right choice depends on your cargo type, NCM code, importer's state of domicile, and inland delivery point. Our partners can model both options.

Yes. Every Brazilian legal entity (CNPJ) that wants to import must register with Radar Siscomex before their first import. There are three tiers: Limitado (capped at US$150,000 in imports per semester — suitable for occasional importers), Ordinário (unlimited imports, requires financial capacity documentation), and Expresso (faster approval track for certain company profiles). Registration is done via Receita Federal. Our partner customs brokers assist clients through the Radar application process.

AFRMM (Adicional ao Frete para Renovação da Marinha Mercante) is a mandatory Brazilian maritime levy of 25% applied to the ocean freight value on all goods imported by sea. It funds the Merchant Marine fund managed by ANTAQ. AFRMM is unavoidable and applies regardless of the carrier or routing. It is collected at the time of customs clearance and must be paid before the DI is released. AFRMM is not applied to air freight shipments.

True DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) into Brazil requires a Brazilian CNPJ, an active Radar Siscomex registration, and pre-payment of II, IPI, PIS/COFINS, ICMS, and AFRMM by the importer of record. Because Suaid Global (SAE IMPORT LLC) is a US entity, we do not act as the Brazilian importer of record ourselves. In practice, our partners offer 'importação por conta e ordem de terceiros' — a licensed Brazilian importer acts on behalf of the foreign buyer, handling all tax payments and customs filings. We can connect you with suitable registered importers in SC or SP when this model fits your needs. The tax responsibility passes through the registered importer, which has legal and cost implications you should review with a Brazilian trade lawyer.

You need: commercial invoice (in Portuguese or with certified translation), packing list, bill of lading or air waybill, NCM classification for each product line, Licença de Importação (LI) if the product requires prior approval from ANVISA/INMETRO/MAPA/DECEX, certificate of origin if claiming any preferential treatment, and a valid Radar Siscomex registration for the Brazilian importer. Wooden packaging must comply with ISPM 15 (heat treatment or fumigation). Siscomex DI filing is handled by your licensed customs broker partner.

NCM (Nomenclatura Comum do Mercosul) is an 8-digit code. The first 6 digits align with the HS (Harmonized System) code; the last 2 digits are Mercosul-specific. To find the correct NCM, start with the HS 6-digit code for your product, then consult the MDIC/SECEX NCM table for the Mercosul extension. Substantial transformation rules and Brazilian technical standards (ABNT) can affect classification for manufactured goods. Misclassification is a major risk in Brazil — it can trigger red or grey channel inspection, fines, and seizure. We recommend consulting a licensed Brazilian customs broker before your first shipment.

'Importação por conta e ordem de terceiros' (importation on behalf of a third party) is a legal model under Brazilian customs law where a registered importer (the trading company) acts on behalf of the actual buyer. The buyer pays for the goods and costs; the registered importer handles the DI filing, tax payment, and customs clearance in their own CNPJ. The registered importer's name appears on the DI, but all economic interest belongs to the buyer. This model allows foreign sellers or companies without Radar to import into Brazil through a compliant local partner. Suaid Global can connect importers with established trading companies in SC and SP for this purpose.

It depends on the product category. ANVISA approval (Licença de Importação from health authority) is required for cosmetics, personal care products, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and certain food items. INMETRO certification is required for electronics, electrical appliances, toys, and safety-regulated products — the product must carry the Brazilian INMETRO seal. MAPA approval is required for agricultural inputs, animal feed, and plant products. DECEX issues general import licenses for products on the Lista de Licenciamento Não-Automático. These approvals must be obtained before the goods arrive at the Brazilian port, or the cargo risks being blocked at customs.

No. Section 301 tariffs are a US trade policy instrument applied by US Customs and Border Protection on Chinese-origin goods entering the United States. They have no effect on imports entering Brazil. When you ship from China directly to Brazil, the applicable taxes are Brazil's own import duty stack: II, IPI, PIS/COFINS, ICMS, and AFRMM — all under Brazilian Receita Federal jurisdiction, completely independent of US trade policy.
