To Our Valued Partners & Friends:
 
Please review this important information regarding Brazil.

A new procedure has been adopted by Brazilian customs, whereby the Power of Attorney customers must sign to give the customs broker power to customs clear the export or import move now has to be officially issued by a Public Notary.  It means, customers will have to personally go to a Public Notary and have the Power of Attorney prepared.

Brazilian agents are fighting this new bureaucratic measure, but at this point, it is a new procedure that must be followed by all customers whose customs clearance process was not started before October 13th. 

The first customers trying to obtain the official Power of Attorney through a Public Notary, were informed that it will take about two weeks for it to be ready. This will most probably delay customs clearance process if the document is not prepared with enough anticipation.
This new procedure was based on the new Provisional Measure No. 507, issued by Government.

If this new measure is cancelled, we will inform you.
