Customs API for Freight Forwarders & 3PLs in Brazil — Cargo Management System

Modern customs API for Freight Forwarders & 3PLs in Brazil

Belli rebuilt customs API from first principles for freight forwarders & 3pls 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 Lima (LIM) and Mexico City (MEX) — carriers in the class of Aeromexico Cargo, LATAM 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 freight forwarders & 3pls in Brazil.

Re-keying data between forwarding software and airline EDI — compounded in Brazil by perishable cargo dominance requiring cold-chain management
Manual eAWB and house manifest creation duplicated in every carrier system — compounded in Brazil by currency volatility requiring multi-currency pricing
Buy/sell rate management and margin tracking spread across spreadsheets
Brazil-specific: SISCOMEX customs system. Portuguese language requirements. Complex tax regulations.

What changes with Belli

What freight forwarders & 3pls get instead:

Buy/sell rate management with real-time margin visibility
Self-service customer portal with live tracking
Automated eAWB and HAWB creation with IATA ONE Record transmission

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

Belli's customs API runs as one connected workflow, configured for Brazil from day one.

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

Built for Brazil's requirements

Running cargo in Brazil means living inside its rules, not around them. Latin American air cargo is driven by perishable exports, mining equipment, and growing e-commerce.

That shows up in the details: mining and energy sector equipment cargo; 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, LATAM Cargo, Copa Airlines Cargo operate against exactly these conditions.

Going live in 10 days in Brazil

Switching is the part most freight forwarders & 3pls dread — Belli compresses it into ten working days. Week one maps your data, rates, and EDI partners at Lima (LIM). The team is live and supported before the old system is switched off. Post-launch, changes ship continuously rather than waiting for a quarterly release.

The bottom line for Freight Forwarders & 3PLs in Brazil

For Freight Forwarders & 3PLs in Brazil, the math is simple. Doing nothing has a price, and it compounds every flight. 50+ countries automated is the outcome Belli is engineered to deliver. Carriers like Aeromexico Cargo, LATAM Cargo, Copa Airlines Cargo already operate at this standard. The next step is a working demo, not a six-week sales cycle.
