To operate in Brazil, a foreign company needs a registered Brazilian entity with a CNPJ, a local legal representative and an address.

Questions

Doing business in Brazil: common questions

How do I find a reliable supplier in Brazil?

We search Brazilian manufacturers and distributors for your product, contact them in Portuguese, check their company registration (CNPJ), collect quotations and can visit them in person to verify the product before you buy.

Why don't Brazilian suppliers answer my emails?

Many Brazilian companies work mainly in Portuguese, by phone or WhatsApp, and give priority to buyers they know. A local contact who speaks Portuguese and follows up in person usually gets answers much faster.

Does my product need INMETRO or ANATEL certification?

Products in regulated categories, such as many electrical goods and toys, need INMETRO conformity assessment. Devices that transmit radio signals, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth products, need ANATEL homologation. We check what applies to your product and manage the process.

Can a foreign company open a business in Brazil?

Yes. A foreign company can set up a Brazilian company or branch. It needs a CNPJ, registration with the commercial board, a legal representative resident in Brazil and a local address. We coordinate the paperwork with local accountants and lawyers.

Which industries do you work with?

Any physical product sourced in Brazil, from natural stone and building materials to food products, industrial parts and consumer goods. If you're not sure, send us your request and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
