Logistics services – such as shipment coordination, tax calculation and export management – are one of Belofloripa’s core businesses, and will serve to optimise your internationalisation process.
Shipment coordination - import
Shipping your goods is a key part of the import chain within your company and it is often during this step of the internationalisation process that the biggest problems (and delays) occur. Successful shipment coordination involves correctly using and drawing up transport and shipping documents (e.g. Packing List, Commercial Invoice, ExA, Certificate of Origin, Form A, Bill of Lading, IMA, etc.).
With the help of specialist partners, Belofloripa can coordinate the entire shipment process for both temporary and permanent import. Belofloripa’s consultants can deal with your import from any country in the world.
In addition to this, Belofloripa can take care of the entire logistics chain from A to Z, from the preparation of the dossier prior to the departure of the goods, to the closure of the dossier upon delivery. This kind of outsourcing can save your company both time and money.

Tax calculations and reductions
However perfect your product or service may be for a foreign market, the price of this product often rises because of import duties and taxes.
Before you start exporting, it is a sensible idea to work out, calculate and check all the import taxes that apply to your product. A tax calculation enables you to work out the most appropriate way of approaching the market, and to set a realistic end price. Moreover, a tax calculation helps to determine which duties and charges can be minimised or optimised and could therefore result in a tax reduction.
Within this framework, Belofloripa takes care of:
- All-in calculations of import duties and charges for the shipping of goods (in Brazil, the following taxes are applicable: II = import taxes, IPI = taxes on industrial products, Pis/Pasep = social contribution, Cofins = contribution to social security, ICMS = value added tax);
- Tax forecast aimed at reducing tax on various different kinds of transactions between Belgium and other countries;
- Administrative burdens and requirements with a view to fiscal premiums and special tax incentives;
- Financial, customs and tax planning when structuring import and export affairs;
- Advice and orientation with regard to tax calculations when transferring profits and payments (both to and from Brazil);

Outsourcing Export management
Although the costs and administrative side of setting up an in-house export department is often too burdensome for many SMEs, the support of this department within the framework of export management is nevertheless essential for discovering and entering new markets. By outsourcing your export, the costs and risks of import and export transactions can be minimised and you can continue to focus on your core business.
Depending on your needs, we can either offer this service on site, on secondment, or abroad.
