Brazil: A Vibrant Export Destination for India and the Opportunities in MERCOSUR

Brazil is the world’s tenth largest economy at market exchange rates and the ninth largest by purchasing power parity.Economic reforms have given the country new international projection.

With large and developed agricultural, mining, manufacturing and service sectors, as well as a large labour pool,Brazilian economy is booming. The country is regarded as one of the groups of four emerging economies called BRIC (Brazil-Russia-India-China). The biggest investment boom in history is under way in Brazil.

Brazil imported about USD 65546.23 million worth of engineering goods in 2008, of which only about USD 463 millionwent from India, indicating a share of only 0.71%. However, this share has substantially increased over the past few years,and India’s exports to Brazil are increasing at a rapid pace.

Brazil is a member of the MERCOSUR trade bloc, the other members being Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. It mightbe worthwhile to mention here that MERCOSUR is a trade bloc which sources about 80% of its import requirements fromoutside the bloc. This gives an immense opportunity to countries like India.

India has signed a Preferential Trading Agreement with MERCOSUR which is in force since June 1, 2009. MERCOSURhas offered lower-duty access to 450 items from India, of which 170 items are from the engineering sector (please openthis link to get the list of products with their HS Codes : http://eepcindia.org/memcirculars/mercosur_engg_150605.pdf).

Why Caxias do Sul?

Caxias do Sul is situated in the Rio Grande do Sul state of Brazil. This state in Brazil possesses a unique location, as itshares its international boundary with three very important Mercosur economies, viz, Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina.With the 4th largest GDP in the country and good highway and telecommunications infrastructure, Rio Grande Do Sulbenefits from major national and international investments. The State also has substantial contribution in sectors such as

metal and mechanical products, agribusiness, chemicals, leather products and furniture, pulp and paper. Rio Grande do

Sul has the distinction of being the fastest growing state economy in Brazil.

Caxias do Sul is the second largest city in the State, after its capital Porto Alegre, which is only 89 kms away from this city.

It also happens to be the most important industrial cluster in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. There are a number of small,

medium, large and multinational companies in the city, and it is recognized as an Entrepreneurial-Exporting Hub of

Brazil.

Economic Indicators

Brazil is one of the ten most important world economicpowers. Fiscal and monetary policies, implementedcautiously by President Lula, together with the necessarymicroeconomic reforms (which have continued since his newterm of office began in January 2007) have restoredconfidence in the market. However, strict fiscal disciplineand restrictive budgetary policies will not allow theGovernment to act according to an ambitious agenda, andthis will limit growth. The rate of growth of GDP is slackingoff because of the current economic situation. For allinternational observers, the Brazilian economy is in clearprogression and less and less vulnerable. The unemploymentrate has been affected and it is in constant decrease. TheBrazilian Government’s debt (mainly domestic) is still high,however, about 45% of GDP. Thanks to a commercial surplussince then, the total amount of reserves equals that of foreigndebt at the level of 190 billion dollars. The consumer priceindex should slightly increase during the current year and itshould tend to decrease the following year.

Main sectors of industry

Brazil has abundant natural resources and its economy is relatively diversified. It is a great agricultural power : the leadingworld producer of coffee, sugar cane and oranges, a leading producer of soya and it attracts many world groups in agri-foodand biofuels. Agriculture has a minimal contribution to GDP; on the other hand it represents more than a third of Brazilianexports. Brazil has the largest commercial herd of livestock in the world (50% larger than that of the United States).Forests cover half the country, with the largest tropical rainforest in the world situated in the Amazon Basin. As a great


industrial country, Brazil benefits from its mineral ore wealth; it is the second world exporter of iron and one of the mainproducers of aluminium. The country is asserting itself more and more in the sectors of textile, aeronautics, pharmacy,automobiles, iron and steel and the chemical industry. Most of the large automobile manufacturers have set up theirproduction plants in the country. The industrial sector contributes almost 1/3 of GDP, while the tertiary sector representsabout 2/3 of GDP.

Foreign trade in figures

Brazil is not a free-trade champion, ranked 22nd world exporter, which is well under its economic potential. The main tradepartners of the country are the Mercosur (Common South American market which encompasses Argentina, Brazil, Paraguayand Uruguay), the United States and China. In 2008, Brazil recorded a trade deficit for the first time since 2002. This wasdue to the sharp appreciation of the real against the dollar which made foreign products cheaper.

Reaching the consumers

Marketing opportunities

Consumer behaviour

Consumers are loyal to brands; including the low incomepopulation which this allows to assert itself. More well-offconsumers pay particular attention to quality, after-sales-service, and the company’s social commitment (protectionof the environment, sanitary standards, etc.) National prideis reflected in consumer habits, but Brazilians remainattached to foreign products as exterior signs of wealth(technological equipment, American sports brands, etc.)

Consumer profile and purchasing power

Consumption among the majority of the population is turnedtowards food and housing. The Brazilian consumer is moredemanding and selective. He is aware of quality, the priceof goods and special offers. Brazil is a dual economy, inwhich the upper classes distinguish themselves byconsumption close to that of the United States and Europe,while the poorer people have to be careful with prices andbuy almost exclusively on the unofficial market.

Distributing a product

Evolution of the sector

With the liberalization of trade, undertaken since 1990, manyagents and distributors have formed themselves intocompanies and begun to import to sell on their own account.Today, the majority of the large distribution chains have

their own import agency. For several years, supermarketsand in particular hypermarkets, have become more and moreimportant in the distribution milieu. Brazilian hypermarketsmake 80% of sales of staple commodities.

Market access procedures

Non tariff barriers

A large number of imported products are subject to a priorlicence application to the SECEX (Secretariat for ForeignTrade), which is the only organization authorized to issuethis licence. The licence is valid for 60 days from the dateof shipment of the goods (sometimes from the date of thelicence application). This period cannot be extended and isoften insufficient. A new licence application must then bemade. For textiles, regulations are even more strict : thelicence is only issued if payment is carried out within 30days following the date of the B/L (importers have to provethat they have effectively paid within the 30days). All importsmust be accompanied at least by 2 copies of the commercialinvoice and the B/L. In the case of non-compliance with thelegal requirements of the country, the Customs have theright to impose large fines, up to 100% of the usual Customsduties being common. It is advisable in any case to workwith a very good Brazilian Customs broker who alone will bein a position to be informed more or less in due course aboutCustoms regulations. It is necessary to consult the numeroussanitary regulations before importing anything.

Customs duties and taxes on imports

10.73 %, within the average for emerging countries.



Customs classification

Brazil applies the Harmonized Customs system.

Import procedures

Every importer must be registered with the authorities incharge of foreign trade, SISEX, in order to integrate theCustoms computer system, the SISCOMEX. This representsa costly investment, as the prerequisites, especially in termsof minimum capital, are considerable. The regime in placein Brazil has an automated process for issuing importlicences, except for a certain number of products.

The issue of samples

Imported samples will be considered by the Customs at theirmarket value, unless there is a particular agreementaccording to the quantity and size of the samples.

Organizing goods transport

Main useful means

17% of domestic transport is carried out by sea or bywaterway; sea traffic plays a leading role in internationalgoods transport, since it transports 97% of Brazilian exports.A total of some 350 million tonnes of goods are transportedby this means every year.

Brazil’s large cities are well served by air. However, goodstransport is not much developed, mainly because of the highcost of this type of transport.

Practically all the State capitals are linked by tarmackedroads. São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and other important Stateshave expressways. The road and motorway network coversapproximately 1.5 million kilometers, of which some160 000are tarmacked, an increase of more than 300% over the lasttwo decades. This is the means of transport used most, asit handles about 85% of the transport of people and Brazilianproducts. Recently, the exploitation of several motorwayshas been transferred to the private sector.

The railway network carries 22.5% of goods traffic. Only7% of the lines are electrified.
