Know an Import Case
Challenge: cost reduction and process optimization
A company from Rio de Janeiro carried out all its imports through the Port of Rio de Janeiro, or through Galeão International Airport. The average of its monthly imports was approximately US$ 30 thousand. As in SP, the goods arrived at the port, the Import Declaration was registered and the ICMS payment slip was collected, with a tax rate of 18%. The clearance period ranged from 5 to 7 days, due to the large volume of imports from Rio de Janeiro. The client did not have professionals specialized in Foreign Trade, where the function was performed by an employee who had another professional qualification (secretary, engineer, commercial manager).
Solution: Cost reduction
G Trading carried out the comparative import studies and proved that a significant cost reduction would be possible in view of the following points:
ICMS
The average rate through G Trading through the port of Vitória/ES is 4% in view of Senate Resolution 13 of 2012 that unified the interstate rates of imported goods and therefore, when sold from ES to RJ or SP, the applied rate will be 4%.
Clearance time and storage costs
The port of Vitória/ES, for having a much smaller volume of imports than Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, and for having an excellent infrastructure, has clearance times ranging from 2 to 5 working days, which would automatically lead to a significant reduction in storage costs.
Specialization / Better operational flow
G Trading has professionals specialized in Foreign Trade and Internet systems that facilitate the operational flow of its customers, through the availability of tracking information and scanned documents. Thus, activities related to imports are absorbed by G Trading, making the client free to focus on its main activity.
