Air Time Critical®’s added value
Pre-empting customs clearance is the best way to ensure a successful delivery to Brazil!
Urgent Freight to Brazil can prove quite complex due to local customs procedures. Enlisting the help of a freight forwarder such as Air Time Critical®, who manages shipments from A to Z, can save you a few headaches and delays when the goods arrive on Brazilian soil.
When you entrust your shipment to ATC®, we do not simply send the goods on the first flight available. We contact the shipment consignee in Brazil to pre-empt customs procedures in São Paulo.
Air Time Critical® liaises with the consignee’s customs broker before the flight leaves French soil and we go through all the procedure details with them: AWB instructions, commercial invoice compliance and customs codes, packing list, incoterm used, payment details for customs duties and taxes, and delivery terms.
This prior planning of customs procedures is the best way of ensuring successful delivery to Brazil!
