Anvisa changes the Importation of Controlled Drugs

Overview:

The import declaration, also known as ID, is a document that records the data of the goods import process. It is where details such as manufacturer and importer data, tax classification of the goods, and tax amounts are informed.

Introduction:

The import declaration is a fundamental step in importing goods into Brazil. Without it, customs clearance does not take place, and the goods transported do not reach the hands of the importer.

This document presents financial and commercial information about the foreign trade operation and the purchased goods. Therefore, it needs to be registered in the correct way so as not to cause problems in the following stages of importation.

What is Import Declaration:

  • This is a prerequisite for the customs clearance to be carried out. It is through the import declaration that the customs officer checks that all information is in accordance with the documents presented and with the imported product.
  • The import declaration is the first step in the clearance process.
  • It is registered right after the payment of taxes and duties is made by the importer.
  • The document cannot have errors, because this can generate problems in taxation and even prevent the shipment of the items.
  • This document, in most cases, is formulated through the Integrated Foreign Trade System, Siscomex.
  • In cases where the goods require an import license, it is sufficient to register the number of this document in Siscomex, and the data to be included in the Import Declaration (ID) are filled in automatically.
