GOVERNMENT REDUCE ZERO VESSEL IMPORT RATE

The government reduced the import tariff on vessels to a meeting of the Foreign Chamber of Commerce (Camex) this week. The facilitation to import ships is part of a program called “BR do Mar”, which aims to make cabotage transportation a competitive alternative to road transport. Other measures are being prepared, such as changes in procedures of agencies such as IRS and Anvisa, so that cabotage vessels have a differentiated and faster treatment compared to long-haul vessels, which bring goods from abroad.
