AEO certification
I need to obtain or keep AEO certification
Diagnosis, self-assessment, 7 and 17-point inspections, filing on Portal Único and revalidation without findings.
Logistics and Foreign Trade Consulting
Foreign trade that passes the audit, ships on time and holds no cost surprises.
AEO certification, chartering, freight forwarding oversight and representation of foreign companies in Brazil, led by someone who spent 25 years inside the operation: at a mine, at a terminal and on board ships.
You'll hear back from Daniel himself, no bots and no sales team.

Where to start
Which of these challenges is yours?
Pick the closest one. The message reaches my WhatsApp ready to send.
Chartering
I have project cargo or a critical shipping window
Indivisible, out-of-gauge or deadline-driven cargo: chartering with approved brokers, vessel and berth assessment and operational supervision.
Freight forwarding
My forwarder doesn't deliver what was agreed
I govern your forwarder's or NVOCC's SLA with KPIs and evidence. You keep the commercial relationship; I make sure it delivers.
Representation in Brazil
I want to sell in Brazil without opening a company
Commercial representation for foreign carriers, operators and manufacturers, with market intelligence and interface with authorities.

How it starts
Three steps, the first one free
No project starts with a commercial proposal. It starts by understanding whether the problem you have is really the problem you describe.
01No cost
You tell me the scenario
On WhatsApp or by email, in a few lines. I reply personally and, if it makes sense, we have a 45-minute technical conversation about your operation.
No cost
02Up to 5 business days
Scope with milestones and KPIs
Deliverables, deadlines, owners and the indicators by which the work will be measured, before any signature.
Up to 5 business days
03Project or monthly retainer
Execution alongside your team
Hands-on inside the operation, with monthly indicator cadence and knowledge transfer to the internal team.

The technical wedge · AEO-Security
The 7 and 17-point inspection is where certification fails
Without sound evidence of these checks, AEO status is exposed in any revalidation. I diagnose the gaps, redesign the process with digital evidence and leave the routine auditable, retrieving proof becomes a matter of minutes, not days.
- The 7 container points: front wall, sides, roof, floor, inside and outside doors, chassis.
- The 17 vehicle points: cab, engine, tank, chassis, axles, fifth wheel, hidden compartments.
- Standardised checklist, geotagged photo and digital signature as AEO-S evidence.
- Monthly indicator cadence with the internal AEO committee and action plan for non conformities.

The three questions that define the project
Well-structured companies finish in 8 to 12 months; at an early compliance stage, 18 to 24. Brazilian Customs has up to 120 days to analyze after the QAA protocol — that is why dossier quality matters more than speed.
When the volume would occupy multiple FCL slots, when the shipping window is critical, or when cargo is indivisible, OOG or over-weight. It gains predictability, even with a higher unit freight.
No. I act as consulting and supervision over it — forwarder or NVOCC — ensuring adherence to the contracted SLA, documentation and KPI. You keep the commercial relationship; I make sure it delivers.
Bring your operation — I'll tell you where it's stuck.
Technical conversation, no institutional pitch. If it's not a case for consulting, I'll say that too.
