Brazil and the US share a $91.5B bilateral trade corridor driven by coffee, meats, iron ore, soybeans, and minerals. Suaid Freight is the dedicated US operations partner for Brazilian forwarders who need local expertise without giving up control of their clients.
Brazilian exports face a unique combination of regulatory, compliance, and operational hurdles at US ports. These challenges require a local partner who understands both sides.
Section 301 duties, AD/CVD investigations, and shifting tariff schedules make HTS classification critical. A single misclassification can trigger CBP penalties, cargo holds, and costly delays.
Coffee, meats, fruits, and processed foods face strict FDA Prior Notice, USDA APHIS inspections, and FSIS requirements. Missing a filing deadline means your container sits at the port accumulating demurrage.
Importer Security Filing (10+2) must be transmitted 24 hours before vessel loading. Late or inaccurate ISF filings result in $5,000+ penalties per violation and can flag your shipments for extended examination.
Free time at US ports averages just 2-4 days. Brazilian cargo arriving at congested Atlantic ports like Miami, Savannah, and NY/NJ faces tight pickup windows. Every extra day costs $150-300+ in demurrage and per-diem fees.
Suaid Freight was founded with a deep understanding of Brazilian trade. Our team, processes, and infrastructure are purpose-built to support Brazilian freight forwarders in the US market.
