Who it is for
Manufacturers, brand owners and distributors with a product in hand, before they choose between selling to a Brazilian distributor, working through a trading company or opening their own company. It also works as a briefing document for a board or a sales director before a budget is set.
Frequently asked questions
Is the pack free?
Yes. We ask for your name, email and company so we know who is reading it. We do not add you to a mailing list.
How current is it?
This is the September 2026 edition. The rules were checked against Brazilian primary sources between 7 and 24 September 2026, and each section shows its own check date. Rules change, so the guides on this site carry the latest dates.
Is this legal or tax advice?
No. It is a checklist built from public, dated sources. Before you commit money, confirm your case with a lawyer registered with the OAB, a CRC accountant and a licensed customs broker. We work with all three.
