Brazil’s new customs system speeds up passenger clearance

Passengers in Brazil now face a faster customs clearance process when entering the country with goods that must be reported to the Federal Revenue Service. This improvement was introduced on Monday, allowing for quicker passage through airport exits. The Federal Revenue Service has implemented a system that automates parts of the Electronic Traveler Goods Declarations process, reducing the need for manual intervention in many cases.
This new system primarily affects international air travelers arriving in Brazil. The Federal Revenue Service's move is part of a broader effort to modernize customs control measures, with the aim of accelerating unloading operations without compromising inspection standards. Previously, travelers who completed the e-DBV were required to visit a customs office for their declarations to be reviewed before departure.
Under the new system, once the electronic declaration is submitted, the Federal Revenue Service's automated system will instantly review the information. If the transaction is deemed low-risk, the declaration is registered immediately, enabling the passenger to exit the airport without undergoing any in-person processing. However, transactions that require further verification will still be forwarded for manual review.
