Frequently asked questions

Questions on AEO, chartering, freight forwarding and representation

How long does AEO certification take?

It depends on initial maturity. Well-structured companies usually complete it in 8 to 12 months; companies in an early compliance stage take 18 to 24 months. Brazilian Customs has up to 120 days to analyze the self-assessment after filing.

What's the difference between a freight forwarder and an NVOCC?

A freight forwarder organizes international transport on behalf of the shipper, without necessarily issuing an HBL. An NVOCC (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier) acts as a contractual carrier, issuing its own bill of lading. Achilles oversees both models.

Which chartering modalities do you structure?

We work with voyage charter, time charter and contract of affreightment (COA), with approved brokers, technical assessment of vessel, berth and equipment, contract, laytime clauses and door-to-door operational supervision.

Does Achilles act as commercial representative for foreign companies?

Yes. We represent foreign carriers, logistics operators and manufacturers in Brazil, with active commercial presence, market intelligence, interface with authorities and operational execution — in the client's own time zone and language.
