When Rio de Janeiro Carnival begins, the sea freight shipments to Brazil become colorful
What better occasion than Rio de Janeiro Carnival’s week to talk about sea freight shipments to Brazil?

Handling sea freight shipments to Brazil requires a precise knowledge about the Import (and Export) Brazilian Legislation.
