SUBMISSION OF DIGITAL ENCLOSURES NOW ALLOWED BY TAX AUTHORITIES

TAX AUTHORITIES AT GRU NOW ALLOW ONLINE SUBMISSION OF DOCUMENTS ALONG WITH IMPORT STATEMENTS

Since March 2, customs brokers at GRU Airport Cargo

may enclose digital copies of support documents when

filing Import Statements (DI) at the Siscomex gateway.

Aside from allowing other functionalities, the tool,

launched in 2014 by the Federal Government, will

centralize access to government services and systems

by users who wish to secure authorizations, certificates

and licenses for import or export transactions. By access-

ing the Visão Integrada do Comércio Exterior (VICOMEX)

module, importers may now link invoices, air waybills and

packing lists to an electronic file that will eventually be

verified by all of the authorities involved in the process.

The procedure changes the way documents needed

for cargo clearance are received by the three verifica-

tion channels afforded by tax authorities (yellow, red

and grey), which are now automatic. Dropping the need

to submit hard copies of documents should considerably

expedite cargo clearance, said Import Tax Authority

team chief, Rodrigo Hiramuki, at a lecture delivered to

professional brokers at GRU Airport on March 10.

Submission of digital enclosures will be optional for

importers until June 31 and will then become mandatory

as of July 1. Until such date, the traditional submission

method will still be valid. “This interim period where both

submission options are accepted will serve as a test

phase that will be used for possible improvements, so it

is important for importers to start using the new

method as soon as possible,” said Hiramuki.

The new method arrived at GRU Airport Cargo as a

continuation to the pilot implementation project which

began at Juscelino Kubitschek Airport in Brasília (FD), and

at the Pecém (CE) and Paranaguá (PR) harbors. The

method is mandated by Normative Directive SRF

680/06 (as amended by IN RFB 1.532 of 12/19/2014)

and by Directive 107/15, issued by the General Coordi-

nation Department of the Customs Authority

(Coordenação Geral da Administração Aduaneira).

Due to current statutory provisions, procedures relat-

ing to airport management have not changed yet. GRU

Airport Cargo, as a trusted cargo depository, still

requires submission of hard copies of all documentary

support. Integration with the digital method, which will

gradually be expanded across the logistics chain, is

currently being negotiated with tax authorities. Further

details available at the Siscomex gateway at

portal.siscomex.gov.br.

Enclosures may be submitted by accessing the Sisco-mex gateway, a tool developed to facilitate document processing in foreign trade transactions.

Online document submission will expedite cargo clearance

With this new feature, Portal Único de Comércio Exterior begins to gradually eliminate paper use in foreign trade transactions.

TAM CARGO LAUNCHES ITS LARGEST CARGO TERMINAL AT GRU AIRPORT

NEW TAM CARGO WAREHOUSE

TAM Cargo opens LATAM’s largest and most

advanced logistics terminal in Brazil at GRU Airport.

Intended exclusively for local cargo operations, the

new warehouse has a total area of 15 thousand m²

and a 630-ton storage capacity and daily operations

involving in excess of 630 tons. The vertical structure

is 11 meters high - the highest among all LATAM cargo

terminals in all of the countries where the group oper-

ates. The site has 14 merchandise entry docks

equipped with scales, all with rising platforms that can

be adjusted to suit variable truck heights.

During the opening ceremony on March 16, Tam

Cargo General Director Luis Quintiliano said the

positive results shown by GRU Airport during the past

years justify all investments made by the company.

GRU Airport president, Antonio Miguel Marques, said

that opening the warehouse is a clear demonstration

that the airline is confident about the airport’s new

management, at a time where the market is going

through difficult times. “It is pleasure to receive a

modern, high-quality structure. The trust that LATAM

has devoted bespeaks our efforts to consolidate GRU

Airport as a leader in terms of cargo air transport in

Brazil,” said the officer.

The new warehouse employs about 300 employees

and opens on a 24/7 basis. The facility offers clients

exclusive parking facilities (79 in all), with flexibility to

receive all types of vehicles. Peak hours at the terminal

range from 8:00 am through 01:00 pm for merchan-

dise collection and as of 05:00 pm for merchandise

dispatch. The terminal will service mainly markets in

the north and northeastern areas of Brazil and will

transport, among other products, electronic equip-

ment, car spare parts and machinery in general, in

addition to perishable goods.

New warehouse has stacking capacity of up to 11 meters and a total storage area of 15 thousand m²

Throughout last year, GRU Airport Cargo conquered over 8 thousand

new clients. It is a figure that helps consolidate GRU’s leadership on

the air transport mode, meaning an expansion to 36% of market share.

Among the several factors that contributed to such growth in

new client numbers, we may mention the company business

department’s efforts to seek new clients and business. The job

done by the business department allowed a closer relationship with

the market, and translated into more credibility and trust, thus

increasing the number of clients by 47% when compared to 2013.

Add to that the investments the Concession grantor made in

terms of improvements on infrastructure and in-house procedures,

which turned the operation more efficient, productive and able to

offer more competitive costs.

Another important aspect is greater flight availability: in addition

to the daily 830 passenger flight take-offs and landings, which

account for the greater part of cargo activities at GRU, four new

cargo flights were introduced in Guarulhos – one coming from Basel,

Switzerland, and another three weekly flights coming from Argen-

tina –, all on top of the already existing weekly route from Miami and

some other charter operations.

GRU NOW AT INTERMODAL. THAT MEANS MORE TIME FOR RETAGGING

GRU AIRPORT CARGO AT INTERMODAL SOUTH AMERICA 2015

From April 7 through 9, GRU Airport Cargo will be

present at the 2015 edition of Intermodal South Ameri-

ca, the most important logistics trade fair in the Ameri-

cas and one of the largest in the world for that line of

business. The event will bring together over 600 exhibi-

tors of all types of cargo transport modes and expects

to receive almost 48 thousand visitors. Over 30 coun-

tries will be represented at the fair.

As already done since it began to manage Guarulhos

Airport Logistics Terminal, GRU Airport Cargo will use

the event as a springboard to divulge investments made

and plans for next year, do new business and streng-

then customer relations. Intermodal will be held at Tran-

samerica Expo Center, in São Paulo, from 1:00 pm to

9:00 pm. Further details available at the event’s official

website: http://www.intermodal.com.br/pt/.

As of March 23, cargo operators needing to retag

parcels due to flaws or errors on the identification

tag may request correction timeframes from 09:00

am to 05:00 pm on business days. Formerly, the

procedure could only be applied for until 02:00 pm.

The change was authorized by Directive ALF/GRU Nº

109, published on the Federal Government’s Official

Gazette on 03/18/2015.

To such end, importer/exporter legal representa-

tives should file retagging applications at GRU

Airport Client Service Department (CAC) along with

the following documents: a copy of the air waybill,

the packing list, MAWB and/or HAWD labels, the

invoice and an application form specifying the

indented correction.

Some changes recently introduced on CAC’s internal

routines, such as expanded number of filings sent to

tax authorities seeking correction will also help cutting

down the time needed for such applications.

Three more hours afforded for Identification tag correction
