Schedule for Migration of Imports to Brazil’s Single Window: First Half of 2025

The phased deactivation of the Import Declaration (DI) and Import License (LI) systems within Siscomex began on October 1, 2024, and is set to continue through December 31, 2025. The objective is to fully transition import operations to the Single Import Declaration (Duimp) and the Licenses, Permits, Certificates, and Other Documents (LPCO) module within Brazil’s Foreign Trade Single Window.

During the 11th CONFAC meeting on December 12, 2024, the Secretariat of Foreign Trade (Secex) and the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (RFB) approved a timeline for regulatory agencies to adopt LPCO and Duimp. This transition is scheduled to take place between January and June 2025, as detailed in the accompanying document. The timeline specifically pertains to enabling imports requiring administrative controls through the Foreign Trade Single Window.

For now, importers may continue to process these operations through either the Siscomex LI/DI system or the Single Window.

Notably, the scope of mandatory Duimp usage will not expand in January 2025. Existing requirements established in 2024 will remain unchanged in accordance with the Single Annex of Coana Ordinance 165/2024 and the details outlined in Siscomex Newsletters 58, 66, and 73 from 2024. A detailed schedule for extending Duimp’s mandatory use to additional transport modes and tax regimes will be released at a later date.

Secex and RFB have reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring a smooth and secure transition for importers to the Foreign Trade Single Window.
