Page · The Aduana Prime Method

Diagnosis. Redesign.
Desk in operation.

Three stages that structure the relationship between Aduana Prime and each client — from the first conversation to continuous operation.

The method exists so that the desk's technical sophistication does not depend on improvisation. Each client goes through a journey built over 35 years of operation — structured to extract value from the first contact and sustain results in the long term.

I.
Stage 01

Strategic Diagnosis

Before proposing, understand.

Typical duration
15 to 30 days
What happens

A deep dive into the client's current operation. The desk analyzes portfolio, costs, margin, tax structure, suppliers, logistics flow and unexplored fiscal opportunities. We talk to those who operate, read the real numbers and identify where money is being left on the table. The diagnosis is not a commercial presentation — it is technical work of complete reading of the scenario.

What we analyze
01
Portfolio and real margin
Which of the client's products deliver real margin after total import or export cost.
02
Current tax structure
How federal and state taxes affect the operation. What is being overpaid due to lack of knowledge.
03
Tariff classification (NCM)
Critical review of the classification used — fiscal risk, reclassification opportunities, impact on tariff rates.
04
Applicable special regimes
Drawback, RECOF, Temporary Admission, Ex-Tariff Exception — which apply to the client's profile and are not yet being used.
05
Logistics structure and costs
Freight, insurance, warehousing, expenses. Where cost can be reduced without compromising deadline or quality.
06
Financial and operational capacity
Current volume, growth potential, capital restrictions and need for financing or appropriate licensing.
Deliverable of this stage

A clear technical map of what can change — with objective indication of financial impact and prioritization of opportunities.

II.
Stage 02

Operational Redesign

Technical plan that becomes an execution plan.

Typical duration
30 to 60 days
What happens

With the diagnosis in hand, we structure the technical redesign of the operation. Each identified opportunity becomes an execution plan with stages, deadlines and responsibilities. The desk delivers to the client a strategic document that can be fully implemented — by Aduana Prime itself or together with the client's internal team.

What we structure
01
Fiscal and tax plan
Reclassifications, special regimes to implement, credits to recover, Ex-Tariff Exception to request.
02
Operational roadmap
Definition of operational flow — suppliers, transport modes, regimes, documentation, deadlines, critical points.
03
Licensing structure
When applicable, structuring or upgrading of the RADAR license for the planned volume.
04
Financial structure
Working capital analysis, financing structuring if applicable, cash flow impact.
05
Execution plan
Implementation schedule with stages, deadlines, responsibilities and validation milestones.
06
Impact projection
Estimate of tax savings, margin improvement and operational gains — in numbers.
Deliverable of this stage

Structured, executable technical plan, with projected financial impact and implementation schedule.

III.
Stage 03

Desk in Operation

Continuous or project-based execution.

Format
Projects · Continuous Desk
What happens

The desk enters operation. In one-off projects, we conduct the execution to delivery — Ex-Tariff Exception granted, Drawback structured, import completed. In continuous desk mode, we take over the entire foreign trade department and operate monthly, with technical predictability and deadline discipline. The relationship becomes structural — not occasional.

What we deliver in operation
01
Complete technical execution
Documentary, fiscal and logistics operation conducted by the desk — from supplier contact to final clearance.
02
Critical deadline management
Strict deadline compliance with clients, suppliers and regulatory agencies. Time-sensitive operations handled with discipline.
03
Tax and regulatory updates
Active monitoring of legislative changes with impact on the client's operation. Anticipated adjustments.
04
Periodic strategic sessions
In continuous desk mode, periodic meetings with the client's leadership to review operations and new opportunities.
05
Litigation and corrections
Technical defense against fines, infraction notices, corrections of Import/Export Declarations and administrative proceedings before the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service.
06
Monthly executive reports
In continuous desk mode, consolidated operation reports with financial, fiscal and operational indicators.
Deliverable of this stage

International trade operation running with senior technical quality — project after project, or continuously, month after month.

The journey in a symbol

Three stages. One desk.

I.
→
II.
→
III.

Each client can enter at any point of the journey. Those who arrive with a specific decision enter directly at stage III, as a project. Those seeking structural transformation go through the three stages in sequence.

Every transformation
begins with a diagnosis.
