Customs Transit Operations

At the Banrisul Armazéns Gerais S.A. unit in Canoas clients can use all customs transit operations, especially in simplified modes, which provide very favorable results by facilitating the swift transit of imported goods. Swift and reduced-cost transport is arranged from the point of arrival or border crossing to the Dry Port customs enclosure. Goods passing through the Dry Port for export leave sealed and denationalized, going directly to the departure terminal without further inspection. This facilitates the process for the local businessperson, as there is no risk of delay and later problems of documentation.

MIC/DTA – International Freight Manifest and Customs Transit Declaration

Banrisul Armazéns Gerais S.A.’s Dry Port offers a great advantage to highway transport, eliminating border-crossing delays. The MIC/DTA is summarized on a single form which combines the Freight Manifest with the Customs Transit. In this way transit time is reduced and duty payments and clearance of goods are also transferred and postponed.

Common Imports (DAP) - Public Customs Warehousing

Due to the low cost of warehousing, the importer can choose to leave the goods stored at Banrisul Armazéns Gerais S.A.’s Dry Port until the goods are actually needed, for a maximum period of 120 days. Collection of duties will only occur when the goods are nationalized and removed from the terminal. It offers operational advantages for trade with MERCOSUR, when receiving highway cargos in the Customs Transit system and enables Clearance on Wheels.

Customs Warehouse Systems

The Customs Warehouse system enables imports of consigned goods with Suspension of Tax Payments, remaining in the suspended system for up to 3 years. This means that the importer has greater bargaining power, being exempt from tax payment and enabling better negotiation of transport cost. This instrument is being strategically used by several companies as a means of storing goods nearer their production and clients, thereby serving them more swiftly and substantially reducing storage costs at source (base). The great benefit is being able to nationalize only the amounts necessary to serve orders of any size and avoiding the risks and delay of direct imports. For the importer it is as if the foreign supplier has opened a warehouse next door to his factory. It is also possible to arrange REEXPORTATION or industrial customs Warehousing of stored products and also certain goods destined to be re-exported within a stipulated period, after having undergone transformation, development or repair, and joining them with others produced here in this country, forming a single operation.

Industrial Warehousing System

The Industrial Warehousing System allows a determined industrial establishment to import goods which are destined for the foreign market after industrialization, with suspension of duties. Part of the produce of the Industrial Warehouse can be destined for the domestic market. The imports and the production process of the Industrial Warehouse will fall under customs control.

Computer Controlled Industrial Warehouse System

The Special Computer Controlled Industrial Warehouse System - RECOF has special computerized control characteristics. Only goods related to Annex IN 35/98 can enter this system.

Temporary Entry

Goods for Temporary Entry to Brazil can go to the Dry Ports and from there be fully or partially released, with suspension of duties for a previously determined period, returning to the Dry Ports for re-export or nationalization.

Drawback System Imports

This system is considered to be an incentive to exports since it offers suspension/Exemption from duty payments in imports of goods to be exported after processing or destined for manufacture, completion or other packing. This benefit can be granted to the goods – raw material, semi-completed or completed product – used for manufacturing another to be exported.

Exports

Common Export DAP – Public Customs Warehousing

A system for public use that allows export of goods with the possibility of remaining stored for a period of 120 days, with suspension of duties. Checking and dispatch is performed by the Internal Revenue on the premises of the Dry Port itself. This brings security and guarantee of the quality of the product to be exported, since the same can be performed within the company itself or accompany the loading within the Dry Port.

Temporary Export System

Through Banrisul Armazéns Gerais S.A.’s Dry Port, national or nationalized goods can be dispatched abroad with suspension of tax payments providing they return to Brazil in the same condition as when exported or after having been repaired or restored, for a period of one year, extendable for one further year. The process is often used for fairs, exhibitions and product demonstrations.

Export Customs Warehouse

Following the Import Warehouse process this system allows the goods to remain stored for one year, extendable for a further year on the Banrisul Armazéns Gerais S.A. premises. Under special conditions a further extension can be granted, up to a limit of three years. The procedure allows for suspension of domestic taxes until clearance is completed and the merchandise is directly exported abroad, offering great advantages to the exporter since the transport vehicles do not remain stationary in the primary zones, thus reducing transport costs.

Certificated Customs Warehousing (DAC)

In this system the company can complete the export of its products with liquidation of exchange before dispatch of the goods, since the goods remain at the Dry Port at the disposal of the importer. For all legal, fiscal and exchange purposes the goods are considered to be Exported. Issuing of the Customs Storage Certificate transfers ownership of the goods to the importer abroad. In this way the DAC is a major instrument for providing support to exporters.

The Drawback system in exports

The exporting manufacturer is allowed to use imported input that has better quality, lower price and quicker delivery, reducing the cost of the end product produced in Brazil. The installation of assemblers operating within the actual Dry Ports is also available for importing parts/components and exporting ready goods with full tax exemption, or selling them on the domestic market paying taxes on the act of nationalizing (sale) of the finished product.

General Warehousing

A system available in the Canoas and Rio Grande units, which allows keeping and preservation of national or nationalized third-party goods for storage. It allows issuing of Warrants, storage guarantee bonds which can be used as guarantees in financial operations.
