Breaking barriers and simplifying processes, Timbro Import Services are the key to success for businesses importing goods into Brazil. In a market filled with logistical and bureaucratic challenges, we act as the compass that guides companies toward efficient and reliable operations.

We serve as a catalyst for companies looking to import goods into Brazil, operating across all sectors of the economy. Whether for one-time or recurring imports, we provide tailored solutions through different import models:

Import on Behalf of Third Parties (Conta e Ordem)

As the importer, we temporarily hold ownership of the goods for customs clearance purposes. After nationalization, the imported goods are transferred to the client, who remains the legal owner and responsible for payment to the exporters.

Import by Order (Encomenda)

In this model, we also handle payment to exporters and take ownership of the imported goods. After customs clearance, the products are sold to the ordering client, who makes payments directly to us. This structure offers advantages related to cash flow and balance sheet management.

Import Leasing

We specialize in structuring capital goods imports, providing strategic solutions in partnership with industries across several sectors of the Brazilian economy and supporting the country’s growth. In addition to our expertise and operational efficiency, we are able to structure Import Leasing operations through a tripartite model involving Timbro, the bank, and the client, creating a unique import financing solution.

Under this Import by Order structure, Timbro’s client is the financing bank (lessor), which leases the imported asset to the end client (lessee) after nationalization. Major banks operating in Brazil select only a few trading companies as partners for this type of operation, and TIMBRO is accredited by the country’s leading financial institutions that offer this solution.
