Many people have doubts when it comes to starting import and export operations, because they don’t know how to begin or which path to follow. One of the most important steps is to register with Radar, a system that controls and oversees all foreign trade procedures in Brazil. Read on to find out everything you need to know about this.
What is Radar?
The Registration and Tracking of Customs Interveners, known as Radar, is the Federal Revenue Service’s system that allows goods to be imported and exported. Without Radar registration it is not possible to carry out operations of any kind, as it is a control that prevents international trade from being used as a way of defrauding the tax authorities, opening and closing import and export companies at any time.
Below, watch the video we prepared with our director Lohami Rizzi so that our readers can understand more about Radar.
Who can apply?
Although Radar caters for both individuals and companies, it is important to be aware of the import and export limits. The system has 4 modalities with specific rules for each type of user. Get to know them all:
– Individuals: those who wish to import for their own consumption. The limit is determined by the income tax return;
– Individual micro-entrepreneur: anyone wishing to sell products abroad. It has a limit of $50,000 per semester for imports and unlimited for exports;
– Limited Radar: companies that will start their activities with a limit of $ 50,000 or $ 150,000 per semester for imports and unlimited for exports.
– Unlimited Radar: companies that will start their activities without limits on the amount they can import and/or export.
The limit is granted on the basis of the financial capacity estimated by the RFB (Receita Federal do Brasil).
How to apply for the Radar?
The Radar application for companies in general is made directly online through the RFB’s Habilita Portal and is granted or not at the same time. The request is made using the e-CPF digital certificate of the person legally responsible for the company making the request and the only requirement is to have enabled the Electronic Tax Domicile – DTE, on the RFB’s e-CAC Portal.
If the Radar is not granted automatically, or if it is not possible to apply online, the interested party must then file a formal process with the RFB, called a DDA – Digital Dossier for Service, presenting the documentation that supports the Radar application.
What documents do I need?
Anyone interested in acquiring Radar, especially companies, must gather and present a series of documents proving their physical existence and financial capacity, such as share capital or tax collection history. As well as established companies, new ones can also apply for this system.
The documents requested for legal entities generally include:
– Articles of association;
– Certificate from the Board of Trade;
– Documents such as ID and CPF of the legal representative;
– Analytical balance sheet for the 3 months prior to the date of application;
– Bank statements for current accounts and short-term investments showing the balances presented in the trial balance.
