Allowing the manufacturer or producer customer to remain focused on production and, this way, entrusting Global Trading with the task of achieving its internationalization projects and distribution of its products in the foreign market.

Tax
Benefit

Through the concession of the State of Paraná in Brazil for the ICMS tax benefit, a reduction in the rate of incidence of said tax is granted, as well as its deferral, for goods imported for resale or permanent assets carried out by commercial establishments and not industrial taxpayers of the tax whose entry takes place through ports, airports, customs stations in Paraná territory or by Paraná border on land routes – in this case, there is a requirement that the goods be accompanied by the certificate of origin from Latin American countries.

However, the degree of reduction and deferral of the tax are linked to the type of product to be imported and the nature of the operation subsequent to the importation. Thus, in order for the taxpayer to enjoy the aforementioned tax benefit, the dispatch, regarding customs clearance, must take place in the State of Paraná.
