Our history

A journey built on knowledge, experience and vision for the future.

Over 25 years, we have closely followed one of the greatest transformations in Brazilian foreign trade. In that period, systems changed, procedures evolved and inspection became smarter and more connected.

Since 2001

Tepcomex was born in 2001. Not to be just another customs clearance company. It was born to understand legislation, interpret complex regulations and turn technical knowledge into decisions that protect our clients' operations.

What has not changed is the importance of experience, technical knowledge and careful analysis to conduct each operation safely.

It is this journey that underpins how Tepcomex works today: combining practical experience, customs intelligence, technology and risk prevention to bring more security, compliance and predictability to foreign trade operations.

Our methodology makes it possible to identify customs, tax, regulatory, documentary, logistics and operational risks before they can turn into fines, delays, detentions or financial losses.

We lived through the transition from physical documents to digital processes, from predominantly local inspection to regionalized structures, from DI to DUIMP, from LI to LPCO, and from an essentially document-based operation to an increasingly integrated, technological and data-driven environment.
