Shipping to Brazil:
start with the importer and filing path
Check the Brazilian importer’s Siscomex authorization—often referred to as RADAR—then review product classification, administrative controls, the filing route and final delivery conditions.
Connect the importer, the product and the system path.
RADAR is common industry shorthand. The practical check is whether the importer is authorized to operate in Siscomex, alongside the declaration and administrative controls that apply to the actual shipment.
- 01 / IMPORTERImporter status
Match the importing entity, its authorization and the transaction.
- 02 / NCMProduct and classification
Align the description, use, model, material and classification basis.
- 03 / CONTROLSAdministrative checks
Check whether the goods or operation require a licence or other documents.
- 04 / DECLARATIONFiling route
Confirm whether DI or Duimp applies and is currently available.
- 05 / DELIVERYCost and receiving
Set out the cost basis, port-to-door handoff, appointment and unloading.
Brazil is phasing in import-system changes. DI / Duimp and LI / LPCO applicability must be checked against the goods, importer and filing date.
It is not about sending more files. The records need to agree.
A Brazil import review connects the product facts, transaction documents and importer information. If they conflict, name who will clarify or supply each missing item before deciding the next step.

Taxes and clearance arrangements depend on the importer, goods and transaction records. A written plan should state inclusions, tax assumptions, destination charges, unloading conditions and how exceptions such as examinations, storage or amendments are handled.

Start with the official tools, then apply them to the goods.
This page is a planning framework, not a substitute for shipment-specific decisions by the importer, customs representative or tax adviser.
Start with the cargo and importer records.
Then make the Brazil route clear.
For a first conversation, share the product and use, model/material, quantity, packed dimensions and weight, destination city and any known importer setup. Mark anything uncertain as open.
