Customs extends and expands bonded areas at key São Paulo logistics hubs
A trio of Ato Declaratório Executivo (ADE) rulings from Receita Federal’s SRRF09 region, published in the 9 October DOU, fine-tune customs-bonded capacity in the state of São Paulo: • ADE SRRF09 31/2026 prolongs the alfandegamento (official customs status) of a major warehouse complex in Campinas until 2029. • ADE SRRF09 32/2026 increases the bonded footprint of the same logistics park by 25 percent and authorises it to operate the Entreposto Aduaneiro regime. • ADE ALF/SPO 43/2026 updates the register of customs brokers accredited to act in Viracopos and Guarulhos airports. For multinational companies using São Paulo as an entry point for intracompany transfers or time-critical spare parts, the measures guarantee uninterrupted 24/7 customs clearance and additional storage capacity ahead of the Black Friday and Christmas peaks. The extension also ensures that travellers importing high-value samples under ATA Carnet can continue to benefit from on-site carnet endorsement, avoiding a 130-kilometre detour to Santos. Operators must implement palm-vein biometric access control—aligned with Receita’s new Smart Border standard—within 120 days. Failure will trigger daily fines of R$5,000. Mobility professionals relocating staff with unaccompanied household goods through São Paulo should liaise with their freight forwarders, as the expanded area includes a dedicated lane for diplomatic and transfer-of-residence (TR) shipments.
