Why import electronic products?

The electronics segment covers a wide variety of products, such as cell phones, notebooks, audiovisual accessories, electronic components, among others.

In some countries, local technology cannot meet national demands, and thus, importation comes into play as an essential piece. It allows access to an exclusive and extensive product market, with price, quality, and variety. It is an extremely beneficial segment, as it is always in constant growth.

Types of electronics

• Digital electronics: Known for cutting-edge technology. They have colorful and 3D screens;

• Analog electronics: They are commercialized in the form of circuits, regulators, sensors, among others.

• Optical electronics: Related to devices that emit or detect light, such as fiber optics.

• Electronics for the end consumer: In the market, it is the most sought-after product when importing. The list is extensive and includes most complete electronics.

How Importation Works

Most electronic products require INMETRO approval and must comply with technical regulations to be approved.

Regarding federal taxes, the charge follows the same pattern as any other cargo, however, the following taxes can be expected:

• Import tax
• IPI
• PIS/PASEP
• COFINS

In addition to negotiating with the exporter and contracting international transportation, customs procedures are extremely important for the success of the import operation.

Products with batteries, such as notebooks and cell phones, require special care in transportation and storage, due to their classification as hazardous products.

For these items, documents such as the MSDS and the Shipper Declaration are necessary to ensure safe handling and transportation.

Redoubled attention to products

In addition to meeting the rigorous administrative requirements of the Federal Revenue Service and other regulatory bodies, the importation of electronic products requires special attention in logistics, from origin to destination.

The fragility and high added value of these products require specific care to ensure their integrity and safety throughout the process.

• Transportation: The choice of the ideal mode of transport depends on various factors, such as the type of product, delivery time, cost, and distance traveled.

• Packaging: Packaging is one of the most important elements for protecting electronic products during transportation. The use of high-quality materials, such as bubble wrap, polystyrene, and wooden packaging, is essential to cushion impacts and prevent damage.

• Storage: Facilities must offer controlled temperature and humidity conditions, fire and theft security systems, and be equipped to handle fragile loads.

• Cargo Insurance: It is highly recommended that you purchase cargo insurance to protect your investment. In the event of loss, theft, or damage during transit, the insurance company will provide compensation.
