The Remessa Conforme program by Brazilian Customs (RFB) comes into effect on August 1st, benefiting registered companies with faster processing of international remittances and tax savings. Organizations, in turn, need to ensure compliance with the agency’s requirements throughout the entire import operation chain. For this, end-to-end logistics is the best option.
In a management model that allows end-to-end tracking, the assurance of necessary processes becomes much more effective.
Continue reading and understand how this logistical model can help your company stay within the Remessa Conforme program.
Benefits of end-to-end logistics for Remessa Conforme
End-to-end logistics covers all stages of product importation, from leaving the warehouse to reaching the hands of the final customer. This format allows all actors involved in the importation process to be closer, from beginning to end, interacting efficiently.
It is precisely this form of interaction that the Remessa Conforme program demands, as information must reach and progress solidly and integrally through each stage of the operation. Some of the activities and processes involved in end-to-end logistics include:
- Warehousing: Managing distribution centers and warehouses to ensure efficient movement of goods.
- Transport: Planning and implementing efficient transportation systems.
- Monitoring and Tracking: Utilizing technologies to track the location and status of goods throughout the shipment.
- Customs and Regulatory Issues: The import and export process involves dealing with customs, regulatory, and specific customs documentation of each country. This includes the preparation of export documents such as commercial invoices and transportation documents, as well as the correct classification of goods according to international tariff codes.
- Compliance and Regulations: Each country has its own trade regulations and norms, and it is essential to ensure compliance in all aspects of international logistics, from packaging to labeling and product safety.
Below are the main benefits of adopting this logistical system in the process of adapting to your company’s Remessa Conforme program.
Compliance with Regulations
End-to-end logistics helps ensure compliance with all currency and tax regulations related to international remittances, such as the correct classification of goods and the adequate completion and provision of customs and tax documents required for compliance with Remessa Conforme.
Transparency and Traceability
With the implementation of tracking and monitoring systems throughout the supply chain, greater transparency can be achieved in the operations of sending remittances, which helps prevent fraud and/or irregularities.
Risk Management
End-to-end logistics also contributes to identifying and managing risks along the supply chain, enabling the adoption of preventive measures and reducing potential incidents that may affect remittance shipments.
For example, Sinerlog, a technology company focused on cross-border solutions, not only helps companies provide all necessary data about the remittance through the issuance of e-Invoice (cross-border electronic invoice) but also provides all necessary information for clearance within the RFB’s internal system through the Cross Border e-Portal.
This measure serves as another form of prevention for the retention of cargo in customs, as customs agents may want to check some information and will need this data readily available for a quick release of the goods.
Functioning of Remessa Conforme
The RFB program offers several benefits that simplify the process of exporting and importing to Brazil for companies that voluntarily comply with the criteria set forth in Normative Instruction 2146/2023. In exchange for compliance, remittances from registered organizations go through an exclusive inspection channel with fast clearance, among other benefits.
To enjoy all these advantages, companies must submit preliminary data regarding the remittance, merchandise, sender, and recipient. Such information must be properly communicated to all actors involved in the process of sending to Brazil, including carriers.
➙ Read the article “Remessa Conforme Program: Tax Exemption and Customs Clearance Efficiency” and see what data is required by the RFB.
It is worth remembering that the compliance seal is not a permanent benefit, and the company may be deregistered from the program if it fails to comply with any of the conditions imposed by the RFB. The absence of a simple piece of data can put the entire import process at risk. Therefore, relying on logistics solutions that fully track the remittance is the safest option.
