The changes in the area related to regulations are recent and have brought new procedures.
Globalization is nothing new to anyone, and its growth makes it increasingly possible for companies of all sizes and countries to connect with each other and be present anywhere in the world.

Exporting contributes to the increase in the scale of production and to the acquisition of local and global knowledge, besides generating new jobs, more income, and company growth.
In Brazil, foreign trade is an important source of economic development that only tends to grow with the current practicalities when it comes to exporting.

Step by step on how to export in 2022
Every company that plans to export in 2022 needs to follow these basic steps:
1° - Know your final destination
2° - Regularize your company
3rd - Present the necessary documentation
4° - Track your merchandise
1st Step - Know your final destination
If your export plans are aimed at the international market, it is important to know well the places in which you are investing your business and thus to elaborate intelligent and integrated strategies.
Find out about the customs legislation, the culture, and even the competition in the places you want to export to have confidence and agility when negotiating your products or services abroad.
Study the costs involved in the whole process, learn about tax incentives, and define the best route and the ideal modal for transporting your goods.
And it is no use offering goods that already exist at the final destination. You must ensure the differentiation of your product to achieve the expected profits.
Step 2 - Regularize your company
Any company in Brazil, regardless of size and sector, can export if it is qualified through the Siscomex Portal.
This qualification allows the Federal Government to keep track of each company within International Trade.
It is also necessary to choose the right tax regime for your business and not have any pending fiscal or tax issues.
Step 3 - Present the required documentation
Write it down! The main documents required during an export process are related to your company and the goods to be exported:
- Registration as an exporter in Siscomex;
- Registration of purchase intention by the importer;
- Contract and the exchange law corresponding to the permission to exchange foreign currency and representing the security,
- Pro-forma invoice templates specifying product data;
- Export contract documents.
Other than these, some of your products may need specific documents for shipping to take place, depending on which business area it is part of.
Step 4 - Track your merchandise
After shipment confirmation, make sure that your goods arrive at their final destination and within the stipulated timeframe.
These factors are very important for a good customer experience and to ensure loyalty to your brand.
That way, if something unforeseen happens along the way, you can take timely action with those involved in the operation.
It is also possible to trigger the cargo's International insurance, inform the customer of the situation, and even, if necessary, provide new documentation for customs clearance.
