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.
Do I need Portuguese to run the checks?
No. The pack names each field on the Brazilian registry pages and what a clean result looks like. Three of the four registries need no login at all.
Does a clean check mean the supplier is safe?
No. It confirms the company exists, is active and is accredited to export. It does not prove the goods exist or that the bank account belongs to the company. The pack covers the checks that close those gaps.
