NCM Code In Manifest And BL Before Entering Brazil



The K-Line’s website suggested that effective from March 3, 2008, an advanced manifest filing called SISCARGA has been implemented to monitor the arrivals of international containers in Brazil.

Carriers are encouraged to submit important data like NCMCodes (HS Codes) and full goods description. The NCM codes should also be mentioned in the B/L body, which is provided under the container column in shipping instruction.

Shipper should be careful in submitting those informations as inaccurate codes will result in R$ 5,000 penalty (USD 3,500). Revisions made for the manifest are only allowed to be submitted within 72 hours prior to vessel's arrival.

Complete informations of goods description, gross weight, cubication and NCM codes are suggested to avoid huge customs penalty.

The details required (some of them provided by carrier in the manifest) :
1. Full name and address of consignee
2. Gross weight in Kilograms instead of pounds
3. Total cubication
4. Vessel’s year of built
5. Consignee’s details of Tax ID (Cadastro Nacional de Pessoas Juridicas–CNPJ) and it must be an active importer ID in Brazillian customs data)

Although HS codes are necessary, but only the first four digits are required and it should be based on the Harmonised Tarrif Codes in USA and Canada.
