São Paulo – The Confederation of Trade and Business Associations in Brazil (CACB) and the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) signed an agreement to expand the issuance of certificates of origin for Brazilian exporters. To celebrate the partnership, the entities will promote next Thursday (26), at 5:00 pm BRT, the event ‘Rules of Origin: Mercosur – New Trade Agreements and the advancements of the CDO – Certificate of Digital Origin.’
The webinar will bring together the presidents of the CACB and ABCC, George Pinheiro and Osmar Chohfi, respectively; as well as Rafael Vieira Lima Laurentino, representative of the Brazilian Ministry of Economy; Rodrigo da Costa Serran, speaking for the Latin American Integration Association (ALADI); Daniella Leite, director of New Business of the ABCC; and Francisco Soler, foreign trade executive of the CACB. The event will be in Portuguese, free of charge, and registration is open.
With the agreement signed with the CACB, the ABCC started to offer the preferential certificate of origin, which grants exemption or reduction in export tariffs to countries with which Brazil has free trade agreements. CACB is accredited for this. The ABCC already offered the common or non-preferential certificate of origin, which can be used only to certify the origin of the goods, but not for tariff benefit.
