We navigate the logistics, regulations, and compliance, connecting global businesses to a growing digital economy. We help you import compliantly, reduce risks, and accelerate your time to market.
One Union Solutions provides Importer of Record services itself through its own local operating setup in each country. We do not hand the IOR Services role to an unrelated local importer. For business and security reasons, we share local entity details during qualified onboarding when that is appropriate.
You cannot decide if a Brazil shipment will work from the country name alone. The exact funding flow, equipment condition, model functions, NCM, destination state and end use decide the path. Confirm own-account, conta e ordem or encomenda; check DI/DUIMP/LPCO for the actual operation date; check each model for Anatel, Inmetro, Anvisa and other controls; and confirm the state tax-release process. This is planning guidance only. It is not a clearance guarantee and it does not replace a full shipment review.
Use an eligible Brazilian importer/declarant with the required Siscomex habilitation. Choose own-account, conta e ordem or encomenda based on the real funding, buying and resale flow. Official sources: Brazil Siscomex Importer Authorization, indirect-import linkage and definitions, Brazil Siscomex Importer Requirements.
Confirm whether the shipment must use DUIMP/LPCO, may use DUIMP, or stays on DI/LI. The move from DI to DUIMP is staged and has exceptions. Official sources: DI shutdown / DUIMP schedule, DUIMP obligation simulator, Brazil DUIMP Implementation Schedule.
Confirm the eight-digit NCM, legal notes, product function, technical description and any Product Catalog attributes. Do not rely only on a six-digit HS code from abroad. Official sources: NCM and TEC explanation , Brazil NCM Classification System , Brazil NPI Product Attribute Updates .
Run the official treatment simulation for restrictions, bans, licensing and responsible agencies. Confirm product/model purpose and exemption evidence where it applies. Official source: import tax and administrative simulator.
For telecom/radio products, check Anatel certification/homologation, holder and marking rules. Keep this separate from NPI monitoring for listed NCM groups. Official sources: Anatel homologation, Brazil Anatel Import Monitoring – 2026.
For conformity, check Inmetro treatment using the exact NCM and attributes. Where required, align Product Catalog, LPCO, certificate/registration and the importing CNPJ. Official sources: Inmetro import-control check, Brazil Inmetro Import Authorization, Brazil Inmetro CNPJ Authorization.
For health/medical goods, confirm Anvisa product regularization, importer access/authorization, DUIMP route and purpose attributes. Official sources: Anvisa DUIMP transition BR-19, Brazil Medical Device Registration,Brazil Anvisa DUIMP Import Attribute.
Treat used, refurbished, demo, RMA and replacement equipment as separate feasibility questions. Used-goods and similarity rules may need Decex review and LPCO/DUIMP. Official source: used-goods / similarity rules.
Estimate duties and tax release only after NCM, customs value, origin, route and state are known. Confirm the destination/importer/despatch state’s DUIMP ICMS-release process and current CBS/IBS transition fields. Official sources: Brazil SEFAZ DUIMP Implementation Schedule, import tax and administrative simulator.
Check temporary admission for eligible short-term use, and Suframa-area licensing/incentive rules where the facts support them. Official sources: Brazil Suframa Import Systems ,Brazil Temporary Admission Rules.
Resolve these before the goods leave. Cargo that ships before route acceptance is a blocker because Brazil’s declaration and product-control path may need data, linkage, catalog work or approvals that cannot be fixed safely after arrival. An invoice that uses only a foreign HS/HTS code is a blocker because Brazil requires the eight-digit NCM and may require Product Catalog attributes; “HTS” is not the Brazilian tariff term.
Treating DDP, consignee or broker as importer eligibility is a blocker because the deal still needs an eligible importer/declarant, Siscomex habilitation and the correct modality. Choosing conta e ordem or encomenda by label instead of facts is a blocker because funding, buying, title, resale, contracts and system linkage must match the selected modality.
A certificate or registration holder that does not cover the importing CNPJ or model is a blocker because Anatel, Inmetro and Anvisa controls can depend on exact holder, importer, model, use and document alignment. Missing or stale Product Catalog attributes are a blocker because attributes change and can become mandatory, and missing or inconsistent data can block or divert the declaration.
Planning used or refurbished equipment as a normal new-goods import is a blocker because used-goods and similarity controls can need a separate feasibility process. Ignoring the destination state’s ICMS release is a blocker because DUIMP release can be automatic or manual depending on the state and treatment, which affects document and timing planning. Deliberately misstating value, description or end use is declined: One Union Solutions declines prohibited, sanctioned, counterfeit, misdeclared, deliberately undervalued or otherwise unlawful deals.
A reliable estimate starts with the shipment — not a generic percentage. The estimate changes with the eight-digit NCM and applicable TEC/TIPI treatment; customs value, freight, insurance and valuation adjustments; origin and valid preferential-origin evidence; product treatment, concessions, Ex-tarifario or special regime where applicable; import modality and domestic resale/use structure; destination/importer/despatch state and ICMS release; 2026 CBS/IBS transition and electronic fiscal-document requirements; and regulator, storage, terminal, brokerage and logistics costs.
The assessment provides a documented set of assumptions; classification and regulator dependencies; estimated government charges where the inputs support calculation; One Union Solutions service and operational cost scope; items excluded or payable at actual cost; conditions that could change the estimate; and responsibility for tax documents, funds and records. No fixed duty rate, tax-recovery outcome, customs channel or clearance time is promised. Authorities keep final control.
You cannot safely pick the regulator from a broad category alone. Check the exact model, function, condition, purpose and importing party.
For servers, storage and core IT, check NCM, Product Catalog attributes, customs value, origin, power components and state release. Do not assume every server is free of regulator rules; review embedded radio, power supplies, batteries, cables and accessories line by line.
For routers, switches, wireless, cellular and IoT, check Anatel certification/homologation, holder/label alignment, Product Catalog and NPI monitoring where the NCM is listed. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, radio-control or other telecom functions can change the route.
For power supplies, chargers, batteries and cables, check Anatel monitoring for specified NCMs, Inmetro treatment where it applies, and environmental/importer duties for relevant battery chemistries. Monitoring, homologation, conformity and environmental duties are separate questions.
For medical, diagnostic and laboratory equipment, check Anvisa regularization, importer authorization, product class/purpose, DUIMP/LPCO attributes and possible Inmetro treatment. Components, accessories, spares, research use and patient-use devices may follow different rules.
For industrial, electrical, measurement and PPE, check Inmetro compulsory certification, object registration, PBE labelling, measuring-instrument controls or documented exemption. Use the exact technical scope; an NCM match alone may not prove inclusion or exclusion.
For used, refurbished, RMA, demo and replacement units, check condition, age, serials, purpose, ownership, warranty history, temporary vs permanent route and Decex treatment. Never declare used goods as new or assume a warranty replacement has no customs value.
For drones, surveillance, encryption or defence-adjacent equipment, check Anatel and any other product, end-use, security, controlled-goods or end-user review triggered by the exact capability. Raise this early; commercial descriptions often leave out the function that creates the control.
The goal is to make a clear decision before cargo is booked — not to find missing requirements after the goods arrive.
The client sends the exact product family, model/SKU, condition, origin, destination state, end user/end use, value range, Incoterm and target date. The main risk is that wrong or incomplete facts can pick the wrong importer route, NCM or regulator. The output before dispatch is a clear assessment scope and missing-data list.
One Union Solutions reviews NCM candidates, technical functions, Product Catalog attributes and Anatel/Inmetro/Anvisa/other treatment. The main risk is that a six-digit HS code, marketing name or broad product family may hide model-level controls. The output before dispatch is a product-by-product control matrix and evidence request.
We match the real funding/buying flow to own-account, conta e ordem or encomenda and check DI/DUIMP/LPCO and state-release conditions. The main risk is that a contract that does not match funds, title or resale can break the planned route. The output before dispatch is a recommended legal/operational route with conditions.
We model the shipment using NCM, customs value inputs, origin, state, route, quantities and known concessions/fees. The main risk is that a fixed percentage quoted before these inputs can be badly wrong. The output before dispatch is a conditional landed-cost and responsibility schedule.
Accepted shipments move to a secure second-stage dossier, contracting, data checks, filing preparation and transport coordination. The main risk is that shipping before approvals, catalog data or route acceptance can cause avoidable holds and cost. The output before dispatch is written acceptance conditions and dispatch authorization status.
Completed shipment: A multinational AI-infrastructure provider was deploying GPU servers, high-speed network switches and wireless management modules at a Brazilian data center. The project owner had a delivery site but no Brazilian import structure that could operate the shipment in Siscomex.
Based on a completed One Union Solutions shipment. Customer identity and commercially sensitive details have been anonymized.
The main issue was that an NCM and a freight booking were not enough to establish a lawful Brazilian import path. The transaction must fit a lawful importer model, the operation date determines whether DI/LI or DUIMP/LPCO applies during the staged transition, and state tax release must be coordinated. Embedded Wi-Fi or Bluetooth can place an otherwise ordinary server or switch on an Anatel path, while Product Catalog attributes must describe the shipped configuration accurately.
Official checkpoints: Receita Federal Siscomex habilitation; Siscomex DUIMP schedule; Anatel homologation service.
The commercial structure, federal declaration and state tax release were aligned to the same transaction. The data-center customer received the equipment without being inserted casually as importer, and the radio-enabled components were handled before they became an LPCO or release blocker.
Importing enterprise IT into Brazil is a transaction-design exercise as much as a customs filing. NCM, DUIMP attributes, the import model, regulator evidence and state release need to be built as one file.
Start with enough information to identify the route. For the public first stage, send full name, company and business email; destination country Brazil; broad product category and short description; new, used, refurbished, replacement or temporary condition; approximate target date; known origin and destination state/city; and whether the end customer can import.
Sensitive commercial and end-user files move to a secure second stage. That dossier covers the model/SKU list, quantities and technical datasheets; commercial invoice draft, values, currency and Incoterm; country of origin and manufacturer details; end user, end use and delivery location; radio, battery, medical, encryption or controlled functions; existing Anatel, Inmetro, Anvisa or other certificates; and contracts, title/funding flow and party tax/customs data.
Brazil separates who pays for, buys and resells the goods. The route you choose must match the contract, money flow, title flow and declaration data.
In an own-account import, the importer buys and imports for its own account. It may fit when One Union Solutions accepted deal and later supply model support an own-account route. Title, commercial purpose, funding, resale/use, invoices and tax treatment must match.
In importacao por conta e ordem, the acquiring party pays for the deal and the contracted importer files in its own name. It may fit when the customer/acquirer is the real buyer and pays for the import under the formal indirect-import setup. Both the system linkage and the real money/document flow must match the contract.
In importacao por encomenda, the importer pays for the import and later resells to the named encomendante. It may fit when an importer-funded purchase and domestic resale match the real deal. Importer/encomendante habilitation, capacity, linkage, pricing and resale documents must match.
Temporary admission lets eligible goods enter for a set period with full tax suspension or proportional tax payment, under conditions. It may fit demos, events, trials, repairs or temporary project use where re-export/discharge is realistic. It is not a stand-in for permanent import; term, use, guarantee and closure must be controlled.
A used/refurbished route may need non-automatic control, LPCO/DUIMP and similarity review for used servers, industrial machines, replacement units or refurbished equipment. Feasibility must be confirmed before the goods leave; condition cannot be shown as new.
A Suframa-area route may use separate systems and incentive/licensing rules for eligible imports into Suframa-run areas, only when the destination, activity, goods and beneficiary qualify. It is not a general tax cut; full incentive and licensing eligibility must be documented.
Companies need Brazil IOR Service support when a foreign OEM, cloud provider, vendor or project owner needs eligible importer/declarant support without building its own operational import setup. They also need it when the Brazilian end customer or data center is the receiver/end user but cannot or does not want to act as importer for the equipment.
Support is also needed for regulated technology — routers, radio devices, power components, batteries, medical equipment or industrial products that need checks at model level — and for multi-site deployments that need consistent product data while destination states can have different tax-release processes. Warranty, RMA or spares shipments need a route that matches condition, ownership and customs value for replacement, repaired, used or refurbished units. Demo, test, event or temporary equipment may need temporary admission instead of a permanent import.
The business term IOR Service must match Brazil’s real importer, declarant, contracting and representation roles. Naming a party as consignee, adding DDP to the invoice, or hiring a customs broker does not replace importer eligibility, Siscomex habilitation, the correct indirect-import linkage or product approvals.
Commercial “IOR Service ” is a service name used by international buyers. It must be turned into Brazil’s formal importer/declarant role and transaction type. The importador / declarante is the named party whose habilitation and customs role support the declaration. It carries the duties set by the deal and Brazilian rules. The client / seller / project owner gives complete, accurate product, value, origin, party, end-user and end-use facts; discloses condition, radio/battery/medical/controlled functions and prior issues; makes sure contracts and funding/title flow match the approved route; and does not ship until written acceptance conditions are met.
The adquirente is the party that wants the goods and pays for them in an importacao por conta e ordem setup. The contracted importer files in its own name using the acquiring party’s money. The encomendante predeterminado is the named buyer in importacao por encomenda. The importer uses its own money and later resells the goods in Brazil to that buyer.
A despachante aduaneiro is a customs representative licensed to do clearance acts for the party they represent. Filing the declaration does not automatically make the broker the importer. Customs brokers and logistics providers perform authorized filing, clearance, transport and handling tasks; they act for the importer/declarant and do not replace that legal role; and they escalate inspection, document or operational issues. The freight forwarder / carrier moves cargo and transport documents. It does not, by itself, solve importer eligibility or product approvals.
The consignee / end user may receive or use the equipment, but is not automatically the importer. Their identity, location and end use can still affect acceptance and regulator review. A DDP seller takes on commercial delivery duties under DDP. DDP does not create Brazilian customs eligibility, Siscomex access, product authorization or tax-document ability.
One Union Solutions assesses and, for accepted shipments, performs the importer/declarant function through its own local operating setup. It coordinates classification support, declaration preparation, broker/transport interfaces and regulatory evidence; handles agreed tax/fee payment and fiscal/record steps under the approved scope; and responds to authority requests within its role, using client-supplied evidence where required. Brazilian authorities control classification, valuation, licensing, inspection, regulator approval and release. They may request evidence, assign review channels, reject, suspend or condition treatment, and decide final outcomes under the applicable rules.
Yes. One Union Solutions can provide Importer of Record support for eligible shipments into Brazil. The foreign seller does not need to build its own local importing setup. But Brazil does not treat “IOR Services ” as a shortcut around its formal import rules. The deal must match an eligible Brazilian importer/declarant, the correct own-account or indirect-import type, current Siscomex habilitation, the right DI or DUIMP/LPCO route, an eight-digit NCM, Product Catalog attributes, and any Anatel, Inmetro, Anvisa or other approval. The destination state’s tax-release process also matters. Our assessment settles these points before the goods leave and shows what can go ahead, what needs evidence or approval, and what must change.
Some of your burning questions answered.
An eligible Brazilian importer/declarant and the required customs/tax access must support the entry. One Union Solutions can provide that function through its own local operating setup for accepted shipments, but the deal still has to fit a lawful import type and product-regulatory route.
“RADAR” is common market shorthand. The official concept is habilitacao no Siscomex — permission for the relevant party to operate in foreign trade. It is not the same as a product approval, LPCO, Anatel homologation, Inmetro certificate or Anvisa regularization.
It depends on the operation, date, customs regime, regulators and state conditions. Brazil is moving in stages. We check the official shutdown schedule and simulator for the exact deal rather than assuming DUIMP has fully replaced DI everywhere.
No. DDP is a commercial delivery term. It does not create Brazilian Siscomex habilitation, an eligible importer/declarant, product approvals or state tax-document ability. The import structure must be solved separately.
No. Anatel depends on telecom/radio function and product requirements. Inmetro depends on the exact regulated scope, NCM, technical attributes and any exemption. Each model and accessory should be checked separately.
Possibly, but only after a separate feasibility check. Used goods can trigger LPCO/DUIMP, non-automatic review and similarity rules. Condition, age, purpose, ownership and technical evidence must be shared before the goods leave.
Not responsibly. Duties, taxes, fees, state treatment, regulator review and customs intervention depend on the exact shipment. We give a conditional assessment after reviewing NCM, value, origin, state, route, products and approvals; authorities keep final control.
We review the first-stage information, find missing product or deal data, check the route and regulators, then issue a feasibility response. Sensitive model files, values, end-user documents and certificates move to a secure second stage after qualification.
