What we do

Three business lines. One regulatory base.

Import and sale in the Brazilian market across three business lines: foreign trade, farm inputs and energy. Each one starts from the same regulatory and documentary base.

Origin and destination

HIPOGRIFO works with suppliers in any country. On imports, the destination is always the Brazilian domestic market: wholesalers and distributors. The licence structure and the document routine are the same, even though requirements vary with the product, the origin and the import structure.

Import structures

Three ways to structure an import

A

Direct import

HIPOGRIFO imports in its own name, with its own funds, and sells the customs-cleared, duty-paid goods to the client in the domestic market.

B

Import for a pre-committed buyer (importação por encomenda)

HIPOGRIFO imports with its own funds for resale to a buyer committed before shipment, who acquires the goods once they are cleared by customs.

C

Conta e ordem — on behalf of a third-party buyer

HIPOGRIFO handles customs clearance and the other import procedures; the client contracts and pays for the operation and appears on the import as the acquirer, the actual buyer of the goods.
