CLASSIFICATION OF GOODS

The activity of correctly classifying goods represents one of the most important stages of international trade, influencing not only the regulatory treatment that falls on imported and exported products, but also the calculation of internal taxes, such as IPI and PIS/Cofins.

The correct designation of goods also includes the calculation of ICMS not restricted to import operations, directly related to tax substitution regimes, special regimes and definitions of tax benefits.

Classifying goods is a complex activity, which requires in-depth knowledge of the nomenclature, the harmonized system, the general interpretative rules and other related norms.

Identifying the correct product classification avoids delays and revisions in customs clearance and allows significant savings in time and money. On the other hand, a wrong classification will bring additional risks and costs for the entire operation.

We are highly qualified and recognized among our peers and in administrative and judicial courts to deal with the matter.

Highlights of our activities:

• Elaboration of reports on the tax classification of goods
• Advice on alteration processes and management of classifications
• Partnership with offices for the strategic conduction of defenses related to the subject
• Strong performance in administrative and judicial litigation on the subject
• Elaboration of tax classification queries
