Step by step
Under the New Import Process, the declaration becomes the Duimp, filed by the importer on the Portal Único Siscomex. The replacement of the former DI follows an official schedule defined by type of operation. See what happens at each stage and how Tepcomex acts.
Before executing an operation, you need to understand whether it is correctly structured. Prior analysis makes it possible to identify risks, inconsistencies, requirements and opportunities before the company makes commitments to suppliers, customers, carriers or regulatory bodies.
The Product Catalog is the Portal Único module where products and foreign operators are registered. In the Duimp, product information comes directly from the Catalog. Attributes are the information required for each NCM (Mercosur Common Nomenclature) code in the Catalog, the LPCO and the Duimp, and they replace the NVE, the destaques (NCM highlights) and the description fields.

LPCO stands for Licença, Permissão, Certificado ou Outro Documento (License, Permit, Certificate or Other Document). Depending on the product, its composition, purpose or origin, the operation may require agency approval from bodies such as Inmetro, Mapa and Anvisa.

The Duimp is filed by the importer on the Portal Único. Until the migration is complete, clearance may be processed through a DI in Siscomex or through a Duimp, according to the DI phase-out schedule, published by type of operation. A DI registered for an operation that already requires a Duimp is canceled.

The Receita Federal (Brazil's Federal Revenue Service) selects the examination channel through risk management: green, yellow, red or grey. In the Duimp, there is a single channel, corresponding to the stricter of the one assigned by the Receita Federal and the one assigned by the regulatory agencies.

Customs release is only granted after all examinations. Even after release, the operation may still be audited within the statutory limitation period, including under the procedure to combat customs fraud.
