SANTOS & THE ATLANTIC — LATIN AMERICA'S EXPORT POWERHOUSE

Brazil ships from a long Atlantic coastline anchored by Santos — the largest port in Latin America — together with Paranaguá, Itajaí and Rio. The Atlantic faces Europe, Africa and North America directly, while transpacific and Suez services reach Asia and the Middle East. Together with the air hubs of São Paulo (Guarulhos and Viracopos) and Rio, and the Mercosur land network to the neighbours, they connect Brazil's vast agricultural, mineral and industrial base to every major market.

From Brazil, sea freight reaches North Europe in 14–20 days from Santos, the US East Coast in 12–18 days, and China in 28–35 days; air cargo reaches the European hubs in about a day; and road freight links the Mercosur region in 3–7 days. Canxansa manages end-to-end shipments from Brazilian factories, ports and the agricultural interior — export compliance, freight and last-mile delivery under a single point of contact.

Common Questions

FREIGHT FROM
BRAZIL — FAQ.

What is the fastest way to ship from Brazil to Europe and Turkey?

Air freight from São Paulo (GRU/VCP), Rio (GIG) or Campinas reaches the main European hubs in about a day door-to-door. Sea freight is the most economical mode for volume: Santos to North Europe (Rotterdam, Hamburg) runs 14–20 days across the Atlantic, and to Turkey (Mersin/Istanbul) 18–24 days via the Mediterranean. Transit times are indicative and depend on the carrier's service loop and routing.

How long does sea freight from Brazil's ports take?

Indicative from Santos: North Europe 14–20 days; Turkey 18–24 days via the Med; the US East Coast 12–18 days; China 28–35 days; Mexico 12–18 days; the UAE 22–28 days via the Cape or Suez. FCL (20'/40'), reefer and LCL groupage are all available. LCL adds 3–5 days for consolidation and deconsolidation.

Can you ship by road across Mercosur from Brazil?

Yes. FTL and LTL road freight runs across the Mercosur land network — to Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile — typically 3–7 days depending on origin and border crossing. We handle the cross-border customs formalities and documentation, including reefer trucking for chilled and frozen cargo within the region.

Which ports and airports do you work with in Brazil?

Sea: Santos (BRSSZ) — the largest port in Latin America — Paranaguá (BRPNG), Itajaí/Navegantes (BRITJ) and Rio de Janeiro/Itaguaí on the Atlantic coast. Air: São Paulo Guarulhos (GRU) and Campinas Viracopos (VCP) — the main cargo gateways — and Rio (GIG). We arrange pickup from any state, including the São Paulo industrial belt and the agricultural interior.

Do you handle agricultural, mineral and refrigerated protein exports?

Yes. Soybeans, sugar, coffee and grains, iron ore and minerals, and beef and poultry are among Brazil's leading exports. We handle bulk, bagged and containerised agricultural and mineral cargo, and refrigerated protein in reefer containers, with the phytosanitary and sanitary certificates and inspections destinations require. We advise on packaging and classification before shipment.

What export documents does a Brazilian exporter need?

Standard documents: commercial invoice, packing list, the Nota Fiscal and the export declaration through Siscomex (DU-E), the transport document — bill of lading (sea), airway bill (air) or CRT (road within Mercosur) — and a certificate of origin. Where Mercosur or another trade agreement applies, a preferential origin certificate can reduce duties. We advise on documentation before shipment.

What goods are commonly exported from Brazil?

Leading Brazilian exports include soybeans and grains, iron ore and minerals, crude oil, sugar and coffee, beef and poultry, pulp and paper, and vehicles and machinery. High-value and time-sensitive cargo moves by air, while bulk, reefer and containerised consignments move by sea from Santos and the Atlantic gateways.
