With the adoption of the new export dispatch system, through the Single Export Declaration (DU-E), the time spent by companies to send their products abroad should fall by half, which should favor both exporting companies and which provide customs services. Until June, depending on the type of merchandise, bureaucratic procedures can take 13 days.
The expectation is that, from now on, the time spent on bureaucratic procedures will be reduced even with the growth of exports. For Augusto Fernandes, CEO of JM Aduaneira, which operates in Porto do Pecém, the new system places Brazil in the “first world”, in terms of the time spent to export. “The whole process got much faster. And this will also migrate to the import, which today is still slower. And when this migrates to import, foreign trade will be greatly strengthened, “he says.
“The United States and the European Union, for example, first release the merchandise and only then do you pay the taxes. And Brazil, even today, is very far from the process in Argentina. ” In the case of Ceará, one of Brazil’s leading fruit exporters, the speed of customs procedures can be decisive for the sector. “With a move between 300 and 400 containers per day, the parameterization process done by Revenue, which is now automatic, has reduced the time from two to three hours to about 15 minutes. For the fruit exporter, for whom time is of the essence, this makes a big difference, generating savings for the whole chain, “says Fernandes.
With the new export process, the DU-E is integrated into the Electronic Invoice and replaces three documents: the Export Register (RE), the Export Declaration (DE) and the Simultaneous Export Declaration (DSE). Only this change reduces the filling of data by 60%, according to estimates of the Federation of Industries of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Firjan). For the entity, the Single Door was the solution of the federal government to help in the debureaucratization of the access to the foreign market, one of the main obstacles for the internationalization of the companies.
License
Initially, only goods whose export did not depend on a license or some other intervention by an interested entity may be exported through DU-E. But since December 2017, exports subject to the prior approval of the organs and entities of the Federal Public Administration could now be processed through the DU-E.
Fernandes says that his company has already started the process of changing the system, which allowed a better adaptation in the new processes.
Transition timeline
On June 4, the deactivation of the framing codes of the Novoex system began. And in September, the systems “Siscomex Web Exportation” and “Siscomex Exportação grande porte” will be shut down for the registration of all export declarations.
