Your cargo clears the green channel.

The green channel means automatic release: no inspection, no storage charges, no surprises. Every customs authority calls it something different —levante, despacho, desembaraço— and everywhere it is won the same way: by reviewing the paperwork weeks before the goods ship.

Customs selectivity

The system decides how your cargo leaves

When the declaration is filed, customs assigns a channel. That channel determines how many days your goods sit in the warehouse and what the operation finally costs. Same mechanism in all six countries, different names.

Green

Automatic release

No review. The goods leave the same day. This is the outcome we work toward on every file.

Yellow · Orange

Document review

The officer checks the declaration against its supporting documents. A vague description here turns into an amendment and lost days.

Red · Vermelho

Physical inspection

The cargo is opened. One to three more working days, with storage running and a penalty risk if anything fails to match.

Grey · Brazil only

Suspected fraud

It does not examine the goods: it examines the declared value. It can hold cargo for months, and the only defence is a valuation file built beforehand.

Mexico is the exception: its fiscal traffic light has only two outcomes, free release or customs inspection. There is no middle channel to forgive a paperwork error. See each country regime

Why us

What decides the operation happens before the cargo arrives

Most customs overruns do not start at the port: they start with a badly worded invoice, a tariff code picked casually, or a permit nobody applied for in time. Our work begins weeks before the goods ship.

We review the documents at origin, anticipate the requirements of controlling agencies, and give you the real landed cost before you commit to the purchase.

About the firm

Documents checked in advance

We audit the invoice, bill of lading and supporting papers before shipment to avoid costly amendments.

Committed turnaround

Declaration filed within 24 hours of receiving complete documentation.

One owner per account

You always speak to the same person, who knows your operation and your history.

Technical and legal backing

Every position is grounded in current regulation, ready for an eventual audit.

How we work

Four stages, no grey areas

You know at all times where your operation stands and what comes next.

  1. Assessment

    We analyse the operation, the product and the applicable regime, then hand you the requirements and estimated costs.

  2. Preparation

    We validate documents, obtain prior permits and confirm the tariff classification.

  3. Customs filing

    We file the declaration, settle duties and taxes, and attend the inspection if customs calls for one.

  4. Closing and archive

    We obtain release, coordinate delivery and hand over the complete file.
