Bangladesh’s exports to Brazil have been rising rapidly in recent years, making Brazil an increasingly important market for Bangladeshi products. In the 2024–25 fiscal year, Bangladesh exported $187 million worth of goods to Brazil, a 26% increase from the previous year’s $147 million[1]. This continues a steady upward trend (exports were $175 million in 2022–23 and $109 million in 2021–22) and marks Brazil as one of Bangladesh’s fastest-growing export destinations[2]. The main exports from Bangladesh to Brazil are dominated by ready-made garments (RMG) items like jerseys, pullovers, shirts, suits, trousers, etc.[3] reflecting Bangladesh’s strength as the world’s second-largest apparel exporter after China[4].

There is also untapped potential in jute and other non-traditional sectors; experts suggest Bangladesh could diversify its Brazil-bound exports by promoting jute goods, leather products, and others to narrow the trade gap[5]. Given this promising scenario, it is crucial for Bangladeshi exporters to understand the documentation requirements for exporting to Brazil. Proper documentation ensures smooth customs clearance and avoids delays or penalties. This article provides a comprehensive Brazil import documentation checklist tailored for Bangladeshi exporters with a special focus on garments and jute – and offers guidance on navigating Brazilian import regulations. We also highlight the role of the Brazil-Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BBCCI) in supporting exporters, and invite Bangladeshi businesses to leverage BBCCI’s resources for successful market entry into Brazil.

Garments and Jute: Bangladesh’s Key Exports to Brazil

Bangladesh is globally renowned for its textile and apparel industry, and garments are the centerpiece of Bangladesh’s exports to Brazil. As of 2025, Bangladesh remains the second-largest garment exporter in the world (only behind China), with over 7% of global apparel export share[4]. Brazil, for its part, is a sizeable and growing importer of apparel it imported around $5.9 billion in textiles and clothing in 2022[6]. Bangladesh’s share in that Brazilian import market was about $150.6 million in 2022[7], indicating significant room for growth. Major Bangladeshi clothing companies are eyeing Brazil as a high-potential market, especially as Brazil’s middle class expands and seeks quality apparel at competitive prices. Indeed, Bangladeshi apparel exports to Brazil have surged (nearly 60% growth in 2022–23 over the previous year) as Bangladesh leverages its competitive pricing and production capacity[3]. Popular Bangladeshi garment exports to Brazil include knitwear (e.g. T-shirts, sweaters) and woven apparel (men’s suits, shirts, trousers, etc.), which have seen robust demand[8]. Exporters in the garment sector should note that while Brazil offers great opportunity, they must adhere to Brazilian import regulations such as labeling rules (labels in Portuguese with correct fiber content, sizing, etc., as discussed later) to successfully sell in this market.

Jute and jute goods represent another area of promise in Bangladesh–Brazil trade. Bangladesh is the world’s second-largest producer of jute, accounting for about 42% of global jute production, and is a leading exporter of jute fiber and jute products[9]. Jute is a natural fiber used in products like yarn, sacks, bags, carpets, and other eco-friendly materials. While historically Bangladesh’s jute exports have faced challenges, there is renewed interest globally (including in Brazil) in sustainable, biodegradable materials.

Brazil itself grows some jute (in the Amazon region) but also looks to import quality jute products for uses in agriculture (sacks for coffee, cocoa, etc.) and environmentally friendly packaging[10][11]. Bangladeshi jute mills and exporters have an opportunity to supply jute yarn, hessian cloth, gunny bags, and diversified jute goods to the Brazilian market. In fact, to narrow the bilateral trade gap, Bangladeshi officials have emphasized jute goods as a key sector to promote in Brazil[5]. Exporters of jute products must be mindful of certain requirements when shipping to Brazil notably phytosanitary regulations. Jute is a plant-based product, so Brazilian authorities will require assurances that it is pest-free and properly fumigated. We cover these specific documentation needs (like fumigation certificates) in the checklist below. By focusing on quality and compliance, Bangladeshi exporters of garments and jute can build a strong reputation in Brazil, tapping into the country’s large consumer base and growing demand for both fast-fashion apparel and sustainable goods.

Import Documentation Requirements for Brazil

Exporting from Bangladesh to Brazil entails preparing a set of standard shipping and customs documents. Brazilian import regulations are strict about documentation any inconsistency or missing document can lead to delays, added costs, or even cargo being held by customs. Below is a checklist of essential documents required for goods to be imported into Brazil, which Bangladeshi exporters should prepare and provide to their Brazilian import partners:

Commercial Invoice: This is the primary document describing the sale. It should be issued in English or Portuguese and include detailed information about the transaction[12]. Key details on the commercial invoice must include: a full description of the goods (item names and specifications), quantities and unit of measure, unit price and total value of each item, the currency of transaction, the names and addresses of the seller (exporter) and buyer (importer), delivery and payment terms (Incoterms such as FOB, CIF, etc.), and the shipment’s reference numbers. The invoice will be used by Brazilian Customs to assess the customs value for duty calculation, so it should be clear and accurate. Important ensure the invoice information (product descriptions, values, buyer/seller details) matches exactly with other documents like the packing list and Bill of Lading[13].

Packing List: A detailed packing list is required to outline how the shipment is packed[14]. The packing list should itemize each package or carton in the shipment, including for each package: the contents (which products and their description), the quantity in that package, the weight (gross and net), the dimensions of the package, and the type of packaging (e.g. 10 cartons, each containing 100 T-shirts, weight X kg, dimensions Y cm × Z cm). The packing list enables the importer and Brazilian customs to quickly verify the shipment’s contents against the invoice and perform any necessary inspections. It also helps in tallying delivered goods. Like the invoice, the packing list must be consistent with other documents (for example, package numbers and marks should match those on the Bill of Lading).

Bill of Lading (B/L): This is the transport document issued by the shipping line or airline, serving as proof of shipment and title to the goods. For ocean shipments, an original Bill of Lading is required; for air cargo, the Air Waybill (AWB) plays a similar role. Brazil has specific rules for Bills of Lading. The B/L must contain the full details of freight (like whether freight is prepaid or collect), the name of the consignee and their Tax ID number, and the accurate HS code (NCM code) for the goods[15]. Notably, the consignee’s CNPJ or CPF (Brazilian company ID or individual taxpayer ID) must be indicated on the B/L[16] for the shipment to be cleared exporters should obtain this from their importer partner. Additionally, Brazil does not accept telex releases or “seaway” bills in lieu of original bills; an original, negotiable B/L is typically required to release sea freight cargo[17]. This means Bangladeshi exporters should courier the endorsed original B/L to the Brazilian importer (or the importer’s bank, if under a letter of credit) in a timely manner. Any mismatch in the B/L (such as a wrong HS code or consignee name) can lead to clearance problems, so double-check all details.

Certificate of Origin: A certificate of origin (CO) attests to the country of origin of the goods. It is usually issued or certified by an authorized body such as a Chamber of Commerce. For exporting to Brazil, a Certificate of Origin may be required in certain situations: for example, if the importer is claiming a tariff reduction or exemption under a trade preference scheme, or if Brazilian authorities need to confirm origin to apply anti-dumping or quota regulations[18]. Bangladesh at present does not have a free trade agreement with Brazil, but being a developing country, certain products might enjoy preferential tariffs under Brazil’s generalized system of preferences in such cases a CO (often a Form A under GSP) might be needed to prove eligibility. Even when no preference is claimed, many Brazilian importers request a certificate of origin as part of standard import documentation to satisfy customs and banking requirements. The CO should mention the exporter, consignee, goods description, HS code, and be signed/stamped by the issuing authority. It’s particularly relevant for textile products if rules of origin need to be verified for any Brazilian import programs. Exporters of garments and jute products should check with the importer if a Certificate of Origin is required for their shipment. In any case, having a properly certified origin document can help avoid trade restrictions or higher tariffs, where applicable[19].

Insurance Certificate: If the shipment is insured (which is generally advisable for ocean shipments), an insurance policy or certificate should be included in the documents. The insurance document isn’t always mandatory for customs, but if the sales contract is on CIF terms (Cost, Insurance & Freight), the importer will expect proof of insurance coverage. The insurance certificate should state the type of coverage, the value insured (usually 110% of CIF value), the policy number, and the insurer’s details[20]. Brazilian customs may use the insurance information when assessing the customs value (for instance, if the sale was FOB and insurance was arranged separately by the buyer, they might need to add it to the customs value). Providing the insurance certificate ensures transparency of the shipping terms and protects both parties in case of goods damage or loss in transit.

Import License or Permit (if applicable): Brazil maintains import licensing requirements for certain categories of goods, and these licenses must usually be obtained by the Brazilian importer before the goods are shipped. While many products can be imported freely with just the standard documents above, some items (especially those that affect health, safety, or security) require prior authorization. For example, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, chemicals, arms/ammunition, some telecom equipment, etc., may fall under special import license regimes from the respective Brazilian regulatory agency[21][22]. If an import license is required, the Brazilian importer must apply through Brazil’s SISCOMEX system (managed by SECEX) and get approval from the relevant Ministry or agency before shipment.

In most cases, the license is electronic, but the exporter should wait for confirmation that the import license is approved prior to dispatching the goods[22]. Shipping without a required license can result in the goods being stuck at customs until the license is obtained (or in worst cases, the goods being re-exported or destroyed). As a Bangladeshi exporter, it’s vital to coordinate closely with your Brazilian buyer on this aspect: ask them to inform you if any import permit is needed and ensure they secure it. Generally, garments and jute products are not on Brazil’s restricted list and do not require prior import licenses. However, always verify for any updates (e.g., if a particular chemical in a textile dye is restricted, or if any agricultural permit is needed for jute). Certain sanitary-phytosanitary permits or certificates (discussed below) are different from import licenses, but also must be arranged. In summary, know your product’s category and check if Brazil requires an import license; if yes, do not ship until the Brazilian side has it in hand.

Accuracy and consistency of all documentation cannot be overstated. All documents the invoice, packing list, B/L, certificates must align with each other and reflect the actual shipment accurately. Brazilian Customs has a computerized risk assessment system that will compare declared information across documents. Any discrepancy (for example, if the invoice says 1000 pieces but the packing list says 950, or if the HS code on the B/L doesn’t match the invoice) can trigger a “Yellow” or “Red” channel inspection. Brazil operates a multi-channel inspection regime (Green = automatic clearance, Yellow = document check, Red = full physical inspection, Gray = special case anti-fraud checks)[23]. If your shipment is flagged to the Red channel, it will undergo a thorough physical inspection which can add 7–15 days of delay[24]. To avoid such costly delays and storage fees, make sure all paperwork is correct and internally consistent. Even small errors, like a typo in the consignee name or an extra digit in the product code, can cause issues. Ensure that the importer’s name and Tax ID are written identically on all forms, the product description and quantities match exactly, and the values and currency are consistent. It’s wise to double-check everything before dispatch. Remember that Brazilian authorities can seize or fine shipments if documentation is false or misleading[25]. Thus, investing time in accurate documentation is a must for smooth export operations.

Brazil’s import procedures demand careful adherence to documentation. Inaccurate or inconsistent paperwork can result in cargo being delayed or subjected to extra inspections by customs authorities[13][26]. Shown above, a port official inspects shipping documents against container cargo.

Additional Requirements for Specific Products

In addition to the general documents listed above, certain products require special documentation or compliance certificates to be imported into Brazil. Bangladeshi exporters should be aware of these product-specific requirements, especially for goods like textiles, food items, plants, or electronics. Below are some important considerations:

Textile and Apparel Products: Finished garments and textile products do not require an import license in Brazil, but they must comply with Brazilian labeling and consumer safety regulations. Every apparel item should have a permanent label in Portuguese affixed, providing information such as fiber content (e.g. 100% cotton), care instructions, size, the country of origin (e.g. “Made in Bangladesh”), and the importer’s name or CNPJ in Brazil[27]. The labels ensure Brazilian consumers have the necessary product information in Portuguese, as required by the Consumer Protection Code. Exporters should coordinate with Brazilian importers to understand any specific labeling format or additional marks needed (for example, Brazil might have specific standards for clothing size notation or children’s wear safety labels). Non-compliance with labeling rules can lead to goods being denied entry or requiring re-labeling. It’s also recommended to ensure that azo dyes or other banned substances (if any, per Brazilian health regulations) are not present in the textiles. Note: Brazil generally prohibits the import of used clothing and other used consumer goods (with very limited exceptions for charitable donations)[28]. Bangladeshi exporters should only send new garments; used or second-hand clothes will not clear Brazilian customs under normal circumstances. (This is mostly a concern for textile waste or resale markets – for commercial exports, it’s assumed the products are new.)

Jute, Agricultural, and Plant Products: Since jute is a natural fiber derived from plants, it falls under agricultural commodity regulations. Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture (MAPA) oversees the import of plant and animal products to prevent pests, diseases, or contaminants from entering the country. For any raw jute fiber, jute yarn, or even products like jute bags, the exporter must obtain a Phytosanitary Certificate (issued by the plant quarantine authority in Bangladesh) before shipment. This certificate attests that the plant product (jute, in this case) has been inspected and is free from specified pests and meets the phytosanitary requirements of the importing country. In practice, every commercial jute shipment should also undergo fumigation treatment, and a fumigation certificate should be included to prove the cargo has been treated (for insects, etc.) according to requirements[29].

Brazilian authorities require such documentation: animal and plant products must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate and comply with any quarantine rules[30]. Additionally, the Brazilian importer may need to obtain an Import Permit from MAPA before the shipment, authorizing import of the specific plant material[31]. As a Bangladeshi exporter of jute, you should coordinate with the importer to ensure they have any needed import permit, and you must provide the phyto certificate (issued by, for example, the Department of Agricultural Extension in Bangladesh) along with the shipment. Without these, Brazilian customs (through the agricultural inspectors) will not release the goods. Similar requirements apply to other agricultural exports (like fruits, spices, tea, etc., if any) always include a phytosanitary certificate and check Brazil’s approved list of treatments. For jute goods that are highly processed (like handicrafts), requirements might be slightly simpler, but it’s best to err on the side of caution and provide the phyto certificate regardless. Meeting Brazil’s plant health standards is essential for jute to be successfully imported.

Food and Pharmaceuticals: Products that go into the human body (food, beverages, drugs, cosmetics, supplements) are strictly regulated by ANVISA (Brazil’s Health Regulatory Agency). If you are exporting any food items or cosmetics (for example, Bangladeshi halal snacks or herbal products) or pharmaceutical products, the Brazilian importer is responsible for ensuring the product is registered or authorized by ANVISA. Food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and medical devices generally require health certificates or proof of compliance. For instance, processed food might need a sanitary certificate from Bangladesh’s authorities and must comply with Brazilian food labeling (ingredients in Portuguese, expiration date, etc.). Pharmaceuticals and medical items can only be imported by licensed Brazilian entities and usually must be registered with ANVISA in advance[21].

As an exporter, your role is to provide any necessary certificates (health certificate, ingredient list, GMP certificate for drugs, etc.) and to work with a Brazilian importer who has the proper authorization. For example, if exporting a cosmetic product, you may need to provide a Free Sale Certificate from Bangladesh and the importer would handle ANVISA approvals. Important: If you do not have a local Brazilian distributor or office, you typically cannot directly ship pharmaceuticals or certain health products you must partner with an authorized importer in Brazil[32]. Be sure to clarify these regulatory hurdles before shipping. In summary, ensure compliance with ANVISA for anything health-related; provide all documentation like health certificates, ingredient breakdowns, and adhere to Brazilian labeling (including Portuguese-language labels for ingredients, usage instructions, shelf life, etc. on the product packaging).

Electronics and Machinery: Brazil has conformity assessment requirements for many electronic and electrical products. If you are exporting items like home appliances, electronics, IT equipment, or machinery, check if they require a certification by INMETRO (the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology in Brazil). Electronics and appliances often must meet Brazilian technical standards and bear the INMETRO seal, which usually means they need to be tested and certified by an accredited body in Brazil[33]. For example, something like LED light bulbs, mobile phones, or industrial machines may require certification. Typically, the Brazilian importer handles obtaining the INMETRO certification, but the exporter might need to supply technical documents or product samples for testing. It’s wise to confirm with your buyer if your product category falls under mandatory certification. Without the INMETRO compliance, such products might be held at customs until testing is done or may be sent back.

Telecommunications equipment (anything that uses radiofrequency, Wi-Fi, etc.) must be approved by ANATEL, Brazil’s telecom agency[34]. Again, the importer usually manages the certification process, but the exporter should be aware of it you might need to provide device specifications or even assist in getting homologation. In short, machinery and high-tech products should be checked against Brazil’s regulated list to see if any special certificate (safety standards, energy efficiency label, etc.) is needed. Provide detailed manuals and technical specs with the shipment to help smooth the inspection and certification verification process.

Chemicals and Hazardous Goods: If exporting chemicals, dyes, or any hazardous materials, ensure they comply with Brazilian regulations for dangerous goods. You should include a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and any relevant certificates (for example, if it’s an agricultural chemical, it might need MAPA authorization; if it’s a pharmaceutical chemical, ANVISA). Brazil also aligns with international conventions on chemicals (such as the Rotterdam or Stockholm Conventions for certain substances). Ensure the chemical is not prohibited in Brazil and that the importer has any required permit. For hazardous cargo, follow international labeling and packing (the IMDG code for ocean freight) and provide the MSDS to the carrier and importer.

In summary, while the standard documents (invoice, B/L, etc.) are the backbone of export paperwork, many products have additional requirements. Bangladeshi exporters should proactively research the specific requirements for their product category. Brazilian import regulations are detailed, but guidance is available the Brazilian importer, freight forwarders, or trade portals can provide product-specific info. It’s always better to sort out special certifications or permits before shipping from Bangladesh. By fulfilling these requirements whether it’s a fumigation certificate for jute or a Portuguese label for apparel exporters greatly increase the likelihood of a smooth customs clearance in Brazil.

Support from BBCCI for Exporters: Join the Brazil-Bangladesh Chamber

Expanding into a new market like Brazil can be complex, but Bangladeshi exporters do not have to navigate it alone. The Brazil Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BBCCI) is a key resource and partner for any business looking to succeed in bilateral trade. BBCCI serves as a bridge between the Bangladeshi and Brazilian business communities, and it actively assists exporters in understanding market conditions, regulations, and networking opportunities[35][36]. For Bangladeshi exporters, becoming a member of BBCCI can provide numerous advantages:

Market Information & Advisory Services: BBCCI provides its members with up-to-date intelligence on Brazilian market trends, import regulations, and industry-specific insights[37][38]. This includes guidance on documentation, certifications, and compliance requirements for exporting to Brazil[38]. For example, if you are unsure about a customs procedure or need help finding out if a product requires special approval, BBCCI can offer advice or connect you with the right experts. They often organize workshops or publish guidelines (like this checklist) to educate exporters on export processes.

Networking and Business Matchmaking: As a BBCCI member, you gain access to a broad network of companies and stakeholders in both Bangladesh and Brazil[39][40]. The chamber organizes networking events, B2B matchmaking sessions, trade missions, and delegations. This means as an exporter you could meet potential Brazilian importers, distributors, or partners through BBCCI events. The chamber regularly brings together exporters, importers, logistics providers, and officials giving you a platform to build relationships and explore opportunities. Such connections are invaluable when entering a market where trust and contacts matter. For instance, BBCCI might host a virtual meet-and-greet with Brazilian textile importers for garment manufacturers, or a seminar with jute goods buyers looking for sustainable materials, allowing members to pitch their products.

Advocacy and Problem-Solving: BBCCI also advocates on behalf of its members to resolve trade barriers or policy issues[41][42]. If you encounter systemic difficulties – say a high tariff or a regulatory hurdle the chamber can voice these concerns to the relevant authorities in Bangladesh or Brazil. BBCCI’s dialogue with government bodies can help improve the trading environment (for example, pushing for favorable trade agreements or simplified customs procedures). Moreover, if a member faces a specific problem in exporting (such as a shipment stuck in customs), BBCCI can sometimes liaise or guide on how to address the issue through proper channels.

Trade Missions and Exhibitions: The chamber often coordinates participation in international trade fairs, exhibitions, and buyer-seller meets. Members might get the chance to join delegations to Brazil to showcase Bangladeshi products or to welcome Brazilian buyer delegations in Dhaka. This exposure can directly generate business leads. BBCCI membership ensures you are informed of such events and often grants you priority or discounted access[43]. For example, if there is a textile expo in São Paulo or an online webinar about Brazilian import tax changes, BBCCI will inform its members and facilitate involvement.

Capacity Building: Especially for new exporters or SMEs, BBCCI provides training sessions, workshops, and mentoring on export readiness[44][45]. Topics can range from how to prepare export documents (echoing much of the checklist above) to understanding Brazilian business culture or negotiating contracts with Brazilian buyers. This capacity building helps Bangladeshi companies elevate their professionalism and reduces trial-and-error in exporting.

In essence, BBCCI is like a one-stop support center for anyone doing Brazil-Bangladesh trade. Membership is open to businesses of various sizes and even individuals interested in trade, with different tiers (Corporate, Individual, Associate) to suit the stakeholder’s profile[46][47]. As a member, you not only get practical services but also signal credibility being part of a recognized chamber adds to your business’s reputation when dealing with foreign partners.

We warmly invite all Bangladeshi exporters: whether you are in the garments sector, jute industry, agro-products, or any other field to become a member of BBCCI. By joining, you become part of a growing community that is unlocking the potential of the Brazil-Bangladesh trade corridor. BBCCI’s Secretary General Md. Joynal Abdin and the team are actively reaching out to support exporters in capturing opportunities in Brazil (and Latin America at large). The chamber’s mission is to facilitate and accelerate your success in Brazil by reducing the information gap and fostering direct connections[48]. Many exporters have already benefited from BBCCI’s guidance in understanding Brazilian import tax structures, distribution networks, and even language help (Portuguese translation of business materials, etc.). It’s a smart strategic move to leverage BBCCI when planning your market entry.

The collective strength of BBCCI members can shape a stronger presence for Bangladesh in Brazil’s import landscape.

Conclusion

Brazil offers a vast and growing market for Bangladeshi exporters, from apparel manufacturers looking for new buyers, to jute producers aiming to supply eco-friendly products, and beyond. The recent growth in exports (26% rise in FY25) underscores that opportunity is knocking[1]. However, to capitalize on this opportunity, exporters must approach the market diligently, with a clear understanding of Brazil’s import procedures. Documentation is the backbone of international trade, and as we’ve outlined, getting the paperwork right is half the battle won. By following the checklist preparing complete invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, certificates, and ensuring any special requirements (like phytosanitary or ANVISA certificates) are met Bangladeshi exporters can significantly smooth the path for their goods into Brazil. The goal is to have your shipment clear Brazilian Customs on the “Green channel” with minimal friction, and that is achievable when all formalities are correctly handled.

Beyond documents, this in-depth look also highlighted the importance of compliance and communication. Exporters should maintain close communication with their Brazilian importers and freight forwarders. Brazilian import procedures, while rules-based, can be nuanced sometimes the importer’s experience in dealing with local bureaucracy will be invaluable. Working collaboratively ensures that, for instance, import licenses are in place, labels are correct, and no surprises pop up at the port of entry. Remember that Brazil’s market, while lucrative, has its own cultural and regulatory context; patience and thoroughness go a long way. Any initial challenges you overcome will pave the way for long-term business relationships in a country that is projected to become the world’s 8th largest economy by 2026[49]. Many Bangladeshi firms are already successfully exporting to Brazil learning from their journey (through forums or BBCCI events) can provide practical tips and confidence.

Crucially, don’t underestimate the value of networks and institutional support. We strongly encourage exporters to take advantage of BBCCI’s platform and become members of this bilateral chamber. The connections, knowledge resources, and problem-solving assistance available through BBCCI can save you time and help avoid costly mistakes. Whether it’s getting clarity on a new Brazilian import regulation or finding a trustworthy Brazilian distributor, BBCCI can either provide answers or point you in the right direction. In international trade, information is power and by engaging with the chamber and similar organizations, you equip yourself with the latest information and a supportive community.

In closing, the prospects for Bangladeshi exports to Brazil are brighter than ever. With Bangladesh’s impending graduation from LDC status and the need to diversify export markets, Brazil stands out as a promising frontier. By meticulously adhering to the import documentation checklist and leveraging support systems like BBCCI, Bangladeshi exporters (and their Brazilian import partners) can ensure a win-win partnership. We hope this comprehensive guide serves as a useful reference for all stakeholders. Here’s to seeing more “Made in Bangladesh” tags on Brazilian shelves and a thriving trade relationship built on compliance, cooperation, and mutual benefit. Bon voyage to your shipments, and boa sorte (good luck) in your Brazil ventures!
