HAZARDOUS CARGO – RESTRICTIONS
No special requirements outside of IATA or IMDG.
All classes are accepted by AS.
OVER ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Very Important: After origin agent receives the approval for all documentation (MAWB/ HAWB/ Invoice/
Packing-List) from AS, cargoes must be shipped immediately on next available flight, avoiding
delays on shipment.
Labels:
The boxes must have agent´s identification labels with MAWB and HAWB.
Please fix labels to each side.
32
PR.DC.001_v.03
Labels should contain the quantity of goods, cargo’s weight, airport of departure and
destination, number of both MAWB and HAWB. If cargo arrives in Brazil without or with wrong labels,
application of fine by Brazilian Customs and the extra storage amount will be informed and
transferred to origin agent (See Apendice V).
Storage Charges: All import storage charges are billed by the airport/INFRAERO directly to consignee’s
account. Please notice that in Brazil there is NO FREE PERIOD of storage charges. Each airport
applies their own tariff, and consignee has access to the direct bill, no one gets discounts and no
forwarders can make money over it.
Fumigation ISPM15: Suggest plastic pallets to avoid delays.
Wooden pallets or boxes must be fumigated and have the stamp of fumigation. The
fumigation certificate must also come with the goods. Customs officer can request to fumigate
again and extra transfer/fumigation/retransfer/storage cost might occur (See Apendice I and III).
Partial Shipments:
NOT allowed and it must be clearly informed to the airline at the moment of booking. We
must receive the cargoes in total, avoiding extra storage charges at the Airport.
Re-weighing cargo:
Freight must be reweighed. If cargo is transferred directly to the airline, and airline will
reweigh the freight, we have to find a way to check this weight to ensure it matches the HAWB and
MAWB.
Refrigerated cargo: For the refrigerated cargoes, the temperature must be indicated on both MAWB and HAWB.
The airline will not hold any responsibility if the MAWB does not show the right temperature.
33
PR.DC.001_v.03
Special Treatment – TC4: For cargoes that must be removed to a bonded warehouse after arrival (TC-4 shipments),
AS will advise origin agent about this special treatment and MAWB number can NOT be switched
without previous information to AS, in this case AS need to send a new request to the airline asking
authorization to apply the treatment after arrival.
If AS don’t receive such information, treatment won’t be applied and consignee will have
to pay one storage period at the airport and this cost has to be transferred to origin agent.
Any amendment after Pre-Alert you must inform us urgently.
Personal Effects:
NOT ACCEPTED.
In case you load Personal effects, your company will be responsible for all destination
charge that importer refuse to pay it, such as storage, demurrage and AS destination charges.
HAWB collect Amounts:
All charges to be collected from consignee, MUST be declared on HAWB.
Weight discrepancy: Brazilian Customs accepts only 10% of discrepancy between shipping documents (HAWB)
and the actual arrival weight in Brazil. If more than 10% is found, the Customs Broker must accept
the discrepancy or AS must make a CCA (Cargo Correction Advise) which can take at least 20
days.
*Note* Brazilian Customs technically accepts 10% discrepancy for air shipments, however we really
have to avoid it because Customs officer might not accept more than 5% of discrepancy at his own
discretion.

DAMAGE & CLAIMS
Shipper is responsible to deliver the cargo in good conditions to our agent at moment of
collection. If any damage found at the cargo, the origin agent must notify the type of damage
and contact shipper to repair. Also, it’s necessary to inform us so we can inform consignee at
destination about the possible delay on shipment. In cases like repacking, cargo must return to
shipper or it can be made by agent, but AS must be informed about the costs to get proper
approval.
Take pictures of the cargo at the warehouse to make sure it was shipped in good conditions.
But it’s really important to be informed about any extra charge for taking those pictures.
If damaged occurs at destination, consignee must check with their insurance company and
they can’t remove the cargo from the Airport. It’s consignee’s responsibility verifying the cargo
conditions before taking it out of the Airport. Only after consignee has identified a possible
damage/loss, AS will advise origin agent.
In case of missing cargo, and if it’s detected that was caused by airline, we can open a
formal claim against the airline (at origin or destination) asking for the reimbursement of the loss.
AS highly recommend your warehouse to check if all cargo were loaded and inform us
immediately any unloaded cargo that you declared on MAWB to able us solve this issue with lower
extra cost. AS will follow Brazilian Customs instruction and inform case by case.
DDU / DDP /DAP /DAT SHIPMENT QUOTATION

NEW BRAZILIAN CUSTOMS REGULATION IN NO. 1356 (06/MAY/2013):
Brazilian Customs has just changed regulation IN SRF nº 680 (02/OCT/2006 – link:
http://normas.receita.fazenda.gov.br/sijut2consulta/link.action?visao=anotado&idAto=15618 ) for
Brazilian Ocean Import processes in regarding to Original Ocean Bill of Lading, and according to a
first evaluation, it follows:
1 – With immediate effect (from 2013/may/6th), there´s no obligation to consignee to submit
Original Bill of Lading to Customs on Import Entry File, as long as it´s duly and correctly included on
Siscomex Carga system as an Electronic Bill of Lading, named CE (Conhecimento Eletronico).
Formerly Original BL presentation was a “sine qua non” condition to start any Import procedure at
Customs;
2 – All destination Port Terminals are entitled to surrender imported cargo without Original Bill
of Lading presentation, once Consignees have provided legal Import Declaration Entry File
released by Brazilian Customs with all duties duly paid. Formerly Terminals had an obligation to
collect the Original B/L from Consignees prior to surrender any released Import Cargoes to these
parties. Link to the official Brazilian Customs site to this new instruction (only in Portuguese), in special
attention to the changes defined on articles 18o and 54º.:
http://normas.receita.fazenda.gov.br/sijut2consulta/link.action?idAto=41606&visao=original
By the meaning of this new regulation, we strongly recommend to shippers to have a very
well supported negotiation with their customers in Brazil, in regarding to payment conditions
agreement.
We instruct to our counterparties on origin side to not sign any documentation in any
condition that compromises our companies in guarantee to shippers we´ll keep Ocean Imported
cargoes under our responsibility and not deliver to Consignee, once we don´t have the power to
do that. If we take such commitment, we´ll be acting against the Brazilian Law and subject to be
sued at Federal Court.
We´ll keep monitoring this subject and will report any status we´ll get from legal department
and new releases issued by Brazilian Government as well.
