由 lltx1822 China-Brazil Ocean Freight: Guidelines and Pitfalls
Brazilian shipping demands patience and compliance. The Shanghai-Santos route takes 40 days, with 10-day average port delays. Machinery needs Inmetro certification, and automotive parts require ANATEL approval.
Brazilian customs enforce SISCOMEX registration, with penalties for late filing (BRL 5,000+/day). A Beijing construction firm paid BRL 30,000 for delayed registration. Coffee exports need Brazilian Coffee Exporters Association certification.
Anti-rust packaging is vital for Amazonian humidity: use zinc-plated coatings and dehumidifiers. Santos port’s inland transport requires reinforced containers for bumpy roads.
Partner with Hapag-Lloyd for regular services and local customs support. Insurance should cover Amazon river barge accidents and political strikes.
