Modern customs API for Airlines in Brazil

Belli rebuilt customs API from first principles for airlines in Brazil — not as a bolt-on to a legacy core. Customs compliance is increasingly complex. Belli provides direct API integration with customs authorities in 50+ countries. Latin American air cargo is driven by perishable exports, mining equipment, and growing e-commerce.

Operators routing through Mexico City (MEX) and Lima (LIM) — carriers in the class of Aeromexico Cargo, Avianca Cargo — face the same pressure: more volume, tighter slots, and zero tolerance for a load plan that leaves revenue on the ramp. Belli's customs API targets a measurable outcome — 50+ countries automated — and goes live in 10 days for teams operating in Brazil, not 12–18 months. Brazil deployments inherit the same SLA.

The operational reality in Brazil

Here is what actually breaks for airlines in Brazil.

  • Fragmented systems across booking, warehouse, and revenue — compounded in Brazil by perishable cargo dominance requiring cold-chain management
  • Legacy CMS contracts locking you into 18-month implementations — compounded in Brazil by mining and energy sector equipment cargo
  • EDI integration taking months instead of days
  • Brazil-specific: SISCOMEX customs system. Portuguese language requirements. Complex tax regulations.

What changes with Belli

The same operation, re-platformed:

  • Automated AWB creation and electronic transmission
  • 10-day go-live from contract signature
  • Real-time ULD utilization and capacity visibility

Before Belli: Manual customs filing creates delays and compliance risks. Each country managed separately. After Belli: Automated filing across 50+ countries from a single system. Zero PLACI compliance failures.

How Belli's Customs API works in Brazil

Under the hood, customs API is engineered to remove the manual steps that slow airlines down.

In practice, that means automated hold/release response management, US ACAS/ACMS integration, and EU ICS2 full compliance. Belli also covers canada PACT and UK PreDICT support against Brazil's specific constraints. Every step is auditable, and changes deploy continuously rather than in quarterly batches.

Built for Brazil's requirements

Belli was deployed with Latin America's operational texture in mind, not retrofitted to it. Latin American air cargo is driven by perishable exports, mining equipment, and growing e-commerce.

That shows up in the details: currency volatility requiring multi-currency pricing; perishable cargo dominance requiring cold-chain management; and diverse customs systems: SISCOMEX (Brazil), VUCE (Peru), MUISCA (Colombia). Brazil adds its own layer — SISCOMEX customs system. Portuguese language requirements. Complex tax regulations. Carriers such as Aeromexico Cargo, Avianca Cargo, Copa Airlines Cargo operate against exactly these conditions.

Going live in 10 days in Brazil

There is no multi-quarter cutover here. Your existing integrations are reconnected, not rebuilt from scratch. Training runs in parallel, not after the fact. Post-launch, changes ship continuously rather than waiting for a quarterly release.

The bottom line for Airlines in Brazil

Strip away the demos and it is about outcomes. Manual workflows do not just cost hours — they cost yield on every departure. 50+ countries automated is the outcome Belli is engineered to deliver. Carriers like Aeromexico Cargo, Avianca Cargo, Copa Airlines Cargo already operate at this standard. The next step is a working demo, not a six-week sales cycle.
