    This operation alternative allows to the Brazilian exporter, by the placement of the product in the exterior, to evaluate the receptivity of the market in relation to the product, allowing, besides, that the proximity of the merchandise and, consequently, the speed of the delivery, create conditions of better competitiveness and price. The operations in consignment have, as rule, a period limits of 180 days for your materialization, in other words, the product sent like this it can stay for that period in the exterior, so that it is sold.

    In spite of they be not characterized as samples, the small orders sent without commercial destination and without exchange covering they are released close to of RE SISCOMEX. Also in this case the use of DSE is recommended now.

    5.6 - Drawback


    The drawback, in spite of being an import process, is an operation of extreme importance in the context of the exports, once it consists of the acquisition, in the exterior, of inputs (raw materials, secondary materials, packings and parts and pieces), destined to the production of exported goods or to export. That acquisition is characterized as an incentive, for the fact of being exonerated of the normal taxes that record the imported products.

    The incentive of the drawback, like this known in the ambit of the exports, it is an operation that allows to the manufacturer-exporter the use of inputs imported that present better quality, smaller price and larger delivery speed, when compared with similar national, allowing the obtaining of a product in better conditions or cost and period of delivery more consentâneos to the commitments assumed with the export of the final product, not implicating her/it mentioned import in verification of similarity existence or even the transport in ship or embarkation of Brazilian flag.

    5.7 - Drawback - Intern

    In spite of being usually denominated in the middle drawback exporter - I intern, the operation, maid through the article third of the Law 8.402/92, consists of allowing the acquisition of inputs in the internal market with the same regime and fiscal treatment granted to the exonerated imports, done under the drawback regime. This operation of suspension of IPI in the internal purchases of inputs should be preceded of approval of " export " plan previously presented to the Clerkship of the Federal Revenue - SRF, as it sets down the Normative Instruction DpRF 84/92.

    5.8 - Integrated system of External Trade - SISCOMEX


    SISCOMEX, Integrated System of External Trade, it is a computerized system of registration, accompaniment and computerized control of information, created by the Ordinance 660, of 25/09/92. Your implantation happened in 04/01/93, for the exports.

    For your imports employment he/she had beginning in 01/01/97, when it started to invigorate at the Country a cash integrated system of external trade, of high reliability, operated through the net SERPRO. The company to operate in the international trade through SISCOMEX, will be due the Federal Revenue close to, by the concession of a " password ", which will allow to proceed to the registrations demanded that, in the export, they are:

    the) RE - Registration of Export: demanded for all the export operations, being spared just those related in the Enclosure " THE " of the Entrance SCE 02/92. he/she should remember that the constant operations of the mentioned Enclosure " SHE " should be aided by DSE, as it determines the Normative Instruction SRF 155/99.

    b) RV - I Register of Sale: necessary only for the exports of products whose negotiation has been made through international bags;

    c) DDE - Declaration of Ruling of Export: usually accessed by the dispatcher of the company, seeking to turn the capable operation to the disembarrassment export customs officer;

    For the processing of your operations through SISCOMEX, the exporter should evaluate the advantages of operating with own terminal, in the company, or of using terminals of third. As much the banks as the exchange brokers they have conditions of operating the system through SISBACEN, where they are connected. This alternative of operating eliminates the exporter's need he/she to have your own terminal when the volume of operations be reduced in the company.

     

    5.9 - price of Export

    One of the most common problems faced by the company that intends to export and, even, for those that already export, it has been the determination of the price of export of the product, that not always it provides satisfaction with relationship to your results.

    It is necessary to know that the determination of the price of export of a product involves, besides the relative problems at the costs, the linked peculiarities to the white market of the lunges. In spite of the international market not to dispose of organs official controllers of prices or of margins of earnings, occupation is made to remind that has instrument that could be considered much more rigorous, represented by the international competition.

    The competitiveness, wants in terms of prices as well as in relation to the quality of the products, it is a factor of high relevance being considered when the company presents interest in marketing with the exterior. When studying the export price he/she becomes primordial the orientation of the calculation in a technical way, to be defined that that she stipulated to denominate of " price-floor ".

    This, besides the costs, would contain the minimum margin of profit destined to remunerate the investment. The eventual amplification of this margin would pass constituting an attribution of the commercial area, by the largest's analysis or smaller penetration possibility that the product could come to represent to the different longed for markets.

    In order to become internationally competitive, the wisest road would be:
    - to define the price with base in the technical elements of the company;
    - to fasten to markup, in agreement with the accumulated experiences in the different markets.

    It is necessary that, when of the calculation of the price of export of a product, the differentiated fiscal treatments of the be also computed which, in general, they enjoy the products in your exits for the commercialization it expresses. Another observation of having raised importance, when the company intends to undertake the calculation of the price of products destined to the market of the export, it is the fact of being a common practice to take for base the price of internal market and, on this price, to proceed to the necessary fittings, adapting him/it the that aims at.

    Being adopted this conduct, he/she is due like this to act:

    - to exclude all the tributes and contributions that are in him built-in and that they won't happen in your export, for exemption, immunity or non incidence;

    - to deduce all the other elements that, in spite of constants in the internal market, they won't happen with your export, standing out:

    • salesperson commission;

    • packing;

    • distribution expenses;

    • propaganda expenses;

    • markup, in case she intend to adopt margin differentiated in the export;

    • other portions that should not happen in the export;



    • to include all the portions that will be part of the export price, among them:

    • packing;

    • expenses of movement of the product, from the establishment to your cash disembarrassment and embarkment for the exterior;

    • agent commission or representative (if there is);

    • markup waited;

    • other portions that if they do necessary;

    Eventual • imposed about the export (if there is).

    With the adoption of such providences, it will be able to the exporter to analyze the composition of your price and to adapt him/it to the particularities of each market that it aspirates to reach.

     

    6. PRACTICAL EXAMPLE OF PRICE OF EXPORT


Price of internal market (list price) U$ 7.000,00
ICMS: 18%
COFINS: 3%
PIS: 0,65%
Profit of Internal Market 10%
Commission of Salesperson, in the internal market: 3%
Propaganda of internal market: 0,35%
Distribution expenses in the internal market: 1%
Packing of internal market: 1%
Export packing: R$ 85,00
Agent's commission in the exterior: 3% sobre FOB
Expected profit in the export: 10% sobre FOB
Expenses until the cash embarkment for the exterior: 1,8% sobre FOB
 

To calculate the export price the following procedure it is adopted:

the. all the portions are excluded that compose the price of internal market that won't happen in the export (ICMS, COFINS, PIS, Profit of internal market, salesperson's commission in the internal market, Propaganda of internal market, Expenses of distribution of internal market and Packing of internal market);

b. all the components are added that didn't do part of the price of internal market but that will happen in the export (export Packing, agent's Commission in the exterior, expected Profit in the export and Expenses until the cash embarkment for the exterior);

 

Preço U$ 7.000,00
(-) ICMS: 18% 1.260,00
(-) COFINS: 3% 210,00
(-) PIS: 0,65% 45,50
(-) Profit of internal market: 10% 700,00
(-) Salesperson's commission, internal market: 3% 210,00
(-) Propaganda of internal market: 0,35% 24,50
(-) Distribution expense, internal market: 1% 70,00
(-) Packing of internal market: 1% 70,00
= Subtotal U$ 4.410,00
 

O subtotal de R$ 4.410,00 representa o valor do preço de mercado interno com a exclusão de todas as parcelas nele contidas e que não ocorrerão na composição do Preço de exportação.

Ao mencionado subtotal deverão ser agregadas todas as parcelas que farão parte do preço de exportação a saber: embalagem, comissão de agente, lucro e despesas até o efetivo embarque.

Como para a embalagem de exportação foi estipulado um valor absoluto de R$ 85,00, adicionamos inicialmente este para, a seguir, serem adicionados os demais que foram estipulados em percentuais sobre o valor FOB.

U$ 4.410,00 + U$ 85,00 = U$ 4.495,00

The sum of the percentile ones that should join it is composed like this:
 

agent's commission: 3% sobre FOB
wanted profit: 10% sobre FOB
expenses even embarkment: 1,8% sobre FOB
Total: 14,8% sobre FOB
 

For we join the percentile and we obtain as result the value FOB, we will adopt the procedure of the calculation " inside ". so much Para fell back upon the rule of three simple, demonstrated like this:

4.495,00 = 100% (-) 14,8% or 4.495,00 = 85,2% x = 100%

 

divide-se:  4.495,00 for 0,852 will have: U$ 5.275,82

Being admitted a rate exchange commercial of purchase of R$ 2,56, will have:

U$ 5.275,82 -: - 2,56 =

FOB US$ 2,060.87
