Importing and exporting air freight: are you in need of a freight forwarder in Brazil?

The use of air transport in the importing and exporting of goods is increasing in Brazil and rapidly taking on important new dimensions.

Brazil’s geographical size, in which the distance between Manaus and Porto Alegre, for example, is 3,151 kilometers when drawn along a straight line and 4,822 kilometers when highways (which are not always paved) are taken into consideration, demonstrates just how much air travel can shorten the distance between the country’s various regions.

For reference purposes, the distance between the city of Natal, which is located in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Norte, and Dakar, the capital of the African nation of Senegal, totals 3,003 kilometers.

Given Brazil’s extensive size and unique characteristics, the use of aircraft in the transport of goods continues to grow at an exponential rate. It is within this context that AMTRANS logistics continues to collaborate effectively in order to provide logistics services for the importing and exporting of materials.

As part of the wide range of activities carried out by our company, we are specialists in providing services to freight forwarders requiring international and national logistical support in Brazil.

With operations in all of Brazil’s airports, AMTRANS is able to participate in any aspect of international business, streamlining processes and guaranteeing quality in operations.

This post will provide details on the importing and exporting of materials through the use of air freight. Keep reading below to learn more about what AMTRANS logistics can offer as your freight forwarder in Brazil!

Are you aware of the main cargo airports in Brazil?
 

According to the National Aviation Agency (ANAC), the main Brazilian airports that handle cargo include:

São Paulo International Airport
 

São Paulo International Airport, which is located in the municipality of Guarulhos, is the largest airport in South America and located a mere 25 kilometers from the center of the state capital.

São Paulo International offers Brazil’s best logistics structure for cargo transport, with flights operating across the entirety of the country’s regions.

Viracopos International Airport
 

Located in the city of Campinas, in the interior region of the state of São Paulo, Viracopos Airport is one of Brazil’s main airports.

Viracopos grew rapidly due to the difficulties faced in carrying out expansions at Guarulhos Airport. The airport was subsequently identified as being a great option for cargo and passenger operations since it is located only 94 kilometers from the city of São Paulo.

RIOgaleão Airport
 

Galeão, as it most commonly referred to, is located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil’s second largest city after São Paulo.

Galeão’s excellent structure and logistics capacity make it a great choice for business activities involving foreign trade.

Manaus Airport
 

With three air cargo terminals, Manaus Airport is the largest airport in Brazil’s northern region and one of the busiest in the country.

This is due to the fact that the city of Manaus is one of Brazil’s main industrial hubs and a major importer and exporter of materials and goods.

Afonso Pena International Airport
 

Finally, we reach the south of Brazil, the home of Afonso Pena Airport, which is located in the metropolitan region of Curitiba.

Afonso Pena is strategically located and an excellent option for meeting cargo demands stemming from industrial activities in the south of the country. The airport is also positioned relatively close to Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Chile, which are among Brazil’s key trade partners.

How does Brazil’s new importing process work?
 

DUIMP (Single Import Declaration) was developed to improve importing processes at Brazilian companies. The system operates entirely through means of digital channels, optimizing the flow of process registrations.

DUIMP is an electronic document that includes information on:

• ●       custom processes,


• ●       commercial information,


• ●       financial aspects


• ●       foreign exchange,


• ●       taxation.

This solution’s main objective is to allow documents to be made available prior to the arrival of cargo, thereby facilitating processes and offering increased agility during clearance procedures.
