Tools
Five free tools, one for each recurring question we get asked before a call. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere; every calculation runs in your browser, and every rate carries the act it comes from.
Importing into Brazil
- Landed cost estimator. Duty, IPI, PIS/COFINS and ICMS through the full cascade, for a small set of verified NCM codes.
- Employer cost calculator. The real monthly cost of a CLT hire: INSS, RAT, FGTS, third parties, 13th salary and vacation.
- Market readiness check. Eight questions on your product, regulator, buyer, entry route, experience, pricing, language and budget, with a tier and a next step.
Sourcing from Brazil
- Brazilian exporter document checklist. Coffee, beef, poultry, sugar, soybean meal and wet blue leather: regulatory documents, the commercial set and the registries to confirm, with the status of each.
Both directions
- Brazil business calendar. National holidays 2026-2027, banking non-business days, and dated regulatory deadlines from the DI shutdown to the 2033 end of ICMS.

Frequently asked questions
Do these tools require sign-up or send my data anywhere?
No. All five run entirely in your browser with no external requests at runtime. We only record that a calculation ran, as an anonymous analytics event, not the numbers you entered.
Why do the calculators only cover a small set of codes or cases?
Because every rate on this site is one we have checked against the act ourselves, with the date we checked it. A tool that claims to cover everything is either wrong for most of it or quietly estimating. If your case is not covered, ask us.
