Comércio exterior

Each import or export lives as a process with dated stages: order, shipment, transit, arrival, customs clearance, completed. Stamping each stage with the right date is what makes lead time a real number — and it's how you answer "when will it arrive?" without emailing the customs broker.

The process now keeps the import licence (LI) date and the FX closing date, and can be linked to a drawback grant. The stage column shows the whole timeline: order, LI, shipment, FX, arrival and clearance.

The screen became the standard list: search, filters, saved views, columns, export and trash with Undo. Click the record (or New) to open the form, with the detail tabs when there are any.

Na ficha do processo de importação, informe as alíquotas de II, IPI e ICMS (PIS e COFINS-Importação já vêm na regra geral) e clique em Calcular tributos: II, IPI, PIS, COFINS e ICMS por dentro saem do valor aduaneiro e preenchem os campos, com a memória e o AFRMM do frete marítimo. Salve o valor da mercadoria e o câmbio antes de calcular.

In the nationalization block, choose the regime before calculating taxes. Normal: the usual calculation. Drawback suspension: link the drawback act; federal taxes are calculated and kept as suspended, and the goods cost comes out without them. Ex-tariff: enter the ex number and the reduced rate; import duty is calculated with it. Import licence and declaration stay with the customs broker.

Open the export process and fill in customer, currency, incoterm (the eleven Incoterms 2020) and destination country; enter the items with HS code and price. On the Export tab, choose the load’s packing slip (same customer), the invoice number and the origin agreement (suggested by country: Mercosur, LAIA or non-preferential) with the criterion. Save and download the invoice, the packing list and the certificate of origin: they come out in the language of the customer’s record; without it, in the country’s language; without both, in English.

The landed cost adds goods, freight and insurance converted at the exchange rate OF THE OPERATION (the one you locked in, not today's), plus taxes and expenses in reais. Until the rate is entered, the column shows "enter the exchange rate" — converting at 1 would hide an error the size of the cargo, and that number drives purchasing decisions.

The order of stages is validated: stamping customs clearance before the cargo arrives is almost always a slip of the finger, and silently accepting it would produce a negative lead time that looks like a record. Stamp the arrival first.

The export declaration number (two digits of the year, BR and ten digits) and the registration and confirmation dates are typed in from whoever registered the declaration in the Single Window: Tenka transmits nothing to Siscomex. The confirmation cannot come before registration or in the future. With it, the process closes and proves the linked drawback; without it, the export counts toward the commitment but not toward the proof.

Under "Other expenses", aggregated — the port bill. Taxes (II, IPI, PIS, COFINS, ICMS) have their own fields because they are the lines tax planning looks at one by one.
