Customs Law & International Trade

From customs clearance to foreign-trade strategy between France/the EU and Brazil — in a landscape the EU-Mercosur agreement is set to transform.

Overview

How we can help you.

Importing, exporting or moving goods between the European Union and Brazil involves tariff classification, origin, customs regimes and a web of obligations that vary by flow and product.

The EU-Mercosur agreement is set to reshape tariffs, quotas and rules of origin on the France–Brazil corridor. Anticipating this new framework is a competitive advantage — that is where we structure your operation.
