The firm’s International Trade practice provides strategic and integrated advice to companies engaged in, or seeking to engage in, the global trade of goods and services.

Our work combines deep regulatory knowledge, a solid understanding of the customs and tax environment, and strong expertise in trade defense instruments, with a focus on mitigating risks, expanding market opportunities, and ensuring compliance in cross-border operations.

We assist clients across all aspects of foreign trade, including the structuring of import and export transactions, advice on applicable taxes and rates on the import and export of goods and services, planning involving tariff classification, the application of GATT customs valuation rules, the implementation of special customs regimes (e.g., REPETRO, Temporary Admission, Drawback, among others), and licensing procedures before Brazilian authorities (including SISCOMEX registration). We also provide advisory and dispute-resolution support in matters related to technical and sanitary barriers, multilateral, regional, and bilateral trade agreements, as well as rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and related international bodies.

Our team supports clients in the preparation and defense of trade remedies investigations (such as anti-dumping, subsidies/countervailing measures, and safeguards), in the analysis and negotiation of preferential tariff arrangements, and in representation in customs audits, as well as administrative, judicial, and international disputes involving competent government authorities.

As part of our compliance and fraud-prevention work, we develop trade compliance projects focused on identifying, mitigating, and controlling risks associated with foreign trade operations and economic sanctions regimes.

By combining a global perspective with deep knowledge of Brazilian law, our services provide robust legal support in increasingly complex and competitive environments, enabling clients to maximize results and make strategic decisions grounded in the current regulatory landscape.
