How it works

A simple method: understand, test, scale — and only then set up.

Method

Test Brazil without tying up capital.

Each step is taken only when the previous one proves demand.

  1. 01

    Sell cross-border

    For low-value retail, cross-border platforms let you measure interest with no stock in Brazil.

  2. 02

    Stock under a customs regime

    Where applicable, we assess warehousing regimes that reduce the upfront outlay and allow clearance in stages. Return of unsold stock is assessed case by case.

  3. 03

    Formal import and autonomy

    Once demand is proven, operations scale — and, when it makes sense, you set up your own structure.

The right path depends on the product, its tariff classification and the applicable regulatory approvals. The diagnostic defines your starting step.

From diagnosis to operation

  1. 01

    Brazil Readiness

    2–4 weeks

    Tariff classification, taxes across the reform timeline, regulatory approvals and landed cost. Outcome: go, no-go or adjust.

  2. 02

    Pilot

    90–180 days

    Real operations through our group's structure: import, warehousing, invoicing and sales, with a monthly demand dashboard.

  3. 03

    Scale

    New channels, distributors and buffer stock, guided by data.

  4. 04

    Autonomy

    Your own Brazilian entity, with registrations, contracts and operations transferred in an orderly way.
