Foreign Trade Advisory


Foreign Trade Advisory

Introduction

If your company wants to start operating in the international market or wants to optimize processes that already exist, IMEBRA is your right hand in Foreign Trade.

Whether for companies that are taking their first steps in foreign trade or for those that already have their own operations, international management requires precision. Without adequate monitoring, it is easy to lose money due to generic tax classifications, non-optimized tax regimes, missed deadlines or decisions made on the spur of the moment.

Advice and Efficiency Diagnosis in Comex

We thoroughly analyze your company's history and operational routine to diagnose inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement. We map fiscal, logistical and documentary bottlenecks, delivering an accurate diagnosis that serves as a basis for restructuring your foreign trade processes.

  1. Fiscal and Tax Diagnosis

    We audit the tax classification (NCM) and taxes paid in recent years to identify undue payments and optimization opportunities.

  2. Operational Flow Mapping

    We map all the steps in your current chain to identify bottlenecks, unnecessary costs and rework in your team's routine.

  3. Identification of Incentives and Schemes

    Evaluate the feasibility of using state benefits (TTDs) and special regimes (such as Drawback) to relieve your future operations.

Process Architecture and Structuring (Comex)

We plan and design the ideal operating model for your business. We create a tailored tax, logistics and corporate architecture, structuring clear and parameterized processes to train your team and ensure maximum profitability and security in operations.

  1. Tax Planning and Modeling

    We design personalized tax engineering for your company, defining the best entry hubs in the country (SC, ES, AL, etc.) to optimize ICMS, PIS and COFINS.

  2. Process Design and Operational Flowchart

    We structure standard operating procedures (SOP) for your team, aligning each step from order issuance to nationalization and distribution.

  3. International Shielding and Structure

    We design the international buying and selling architecture (using trading hubs in Hong Kong, USA or Netherlands, when necessary) to protect brands and suppliers.

  4. Total Cost Parameterization (Landed Cost)

    We develop the exact cost formation spreadsheet for your operation, mapping each tax, fee and shipping so that your team has total margin predictability before closing any order.

Integrated Operation for Trading Clients

  1. Door-to-door execution and customs clearance

    The Trading operation that you already contract, without any changes in day-to-day life.

  2. Monthly monitoring of tax rates, Ex-Tariffs and Antidumping

    We keep an eye on changes that affect your portfolio, even outside of boarding.

  3. Compliance and ongoing maintenance of tax benefits

    Like Drawback, which requires monitoring deadlines and obligations to avoid being lost.

If you already use our Trading service, Foreign Trade Advisory is not a separate contract: it is already included in the operation. We continue to take care of your end-to-end business pipeline and maintain ongoing management of tax benefits, regimes and compliance, at no additional cost.
