For aspiring importers

International trade can be intimidating for newcomers. Count on Cernia to be your guide.

Explore potential with confidence

Most Brazilian companies still concentrate their purchases in the domestic market, paying the margin of those who import. Meanwhile, only 0.7% of the country's companies carry out import operations, and they are precisely the ones that expand margins, diversify products, and gain competitiveness on the global stage.

Importing opens the way to new suppliers, more advantageous prices, and direct access to innovation. But it is natural for this move to raise fears: the unknown, bureaucracy, and the risk of mistakes keep many entrepreneurs away from real growth opportunities.
