Despacho aduanero
LCL shipments from EE.UU. to Brasil require Brazilian customs declaration (Declaração de Importação — DI) and proper documentation. Each LCL shipment receives a House Bill of Lading (HBL) from the NVOCC and a Master Bill of Lading (MBL) on the carrier. Commercial invoice (in English or Portuguese), packing list, and certificate of origin are required. At destination CFS in Brasil, cargo is deconsolidated and made available for pickup or inland delivery. Shipments are subject to Brazilian SISCOMEX (customs system) clearance and may require additional inspections.
Aranceles y derechos
LCL cargo from EE.UU. to Brasil is assessed based on each importer's HTS codes. Brazilian import tariff rates average 12-18% depending on product classification. Electronics, machinery, and chemicals typically 12-16%. Certain US goods benefit from MERCOSUR trade benefits (0% tariffs on many industrial products). ICMS (state tax) of 7-18% applies in addition to tariffs. We analyze your products to minimize duty exposure through proper classification and documentation.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre Estados Unidos → Brasil
¿Aún tienes dudas?
Nuestro equipo local está listo para analizar las necesidades específicas de tu carga.
Hablar con un expertoWhat is LCL shipping and when should I use it from EE.UU. to Brasil?
LCL (Less than Container Load) is a consolidation service where your cargo shares a container with other shippers' goods. You pay only for the cubic meters (CBM) you use. LCL is the right choice when your shipment is under 15 CBM, when you are introducing new products to Brasil, when you have mixed SKUs, or when you cannot fill a full container. Above 15 CBM, FCL typically becomes more cost-effective.
How long does EE.UU. to Brasil LCL shipping take?
Ocean LCL from EE.UU. to Brasil takes 16-26 días total. Miami to Santos: 16-19 días (fastest route). Nueva York to Santos: 20-24 días. Houston to Paranagua: 22-26 días. This includes CFS processing at origin (2-3 días), consolidation and vessel transit, and deconsolidation at destination (2-3 días). Door-to-door delivery adds 2-4 additional días.
How is LCL freight priced from EE.UU. to Brasil?
LCL freight is priced per CBM (cubic meter) or per metric ton — whichever yields the higher charge (W/M). The standard formula: 1 CBM = 1 freight ton. In addition to the per-CBM ocean rate, LCL has CFS handling charges at origin and destination, documentation fees, Brazilian customs clearance, SISCOMEX processing, and any port charges.
What documents are needed for LCL from EE.UU. to Brasil?
Standard documents: commercial invoice (English or Portuguese), packing list, bill of lading (HBL), certificate of origin. Additional requirements: Brazilian DI (import declaration), SISCOMEX registration number (for Brazilian importer), phytosanitary certificate (for food/agricultural products), and any product-specific certifications required by Brazilian authorities.
Can I consolidate goods for multiple Brazilian importers in one LCL shipment?
Yes. LCL allows consolidation of cargo destined for multiple Brazilian importers. Each importer will have their own HBL and DI (import declaration). We coordinate with your Brazilian distributors or customers to ensure each party receives their cargo at the destination CFS in Brasil with proper documentation.
What happens if my LCL container is selected for customs examination in Brasil?
If the consolidation container is selected for inspection, all cargo in that container is affected — including cargo belonging to other shippers. Standard inspection may cause 1-2 días delay. Intensive examination may cause 5-10 días delay and incur handling charges that are split among all shippers in the box. This is an inherent risk of LCL compared to FCL.
Do US goods get tariff benefits under MERCOSUR?
The EE.UU. is not a MERCOSUR member, so US goods do not receive MERCOSUR preferential tariffs automatically. However, the EE.UU.-Brasil bilateral trade relationship is strong, and certain sectors have lower rates. We analyze your HS codes to identify any available duty reductions and ensure proper classification to minimize import tariffs.
What are typical tariff rates for US goods to Brasil?
General tariff rates for US goods to Brasil average 12-18% depending on product classification. Electronics and machinery: 12-16%. Chemicals and plastics: 14-18%. Consumer goods: 15-20%. ICMS (state tax): 7-18% applies on top of tariffs. Our customs team reviews each product's classification to minimize total import duty and ensures all documentation is prepared to facilitate Brazilian customs clearance.
