Certificação OEA: potencialidades e desafios para empresas importadoras de São Paulo

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to verify the technical and documentary compliance of companies involved in foreign trade activities to obtain certification in the Brazilian Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) program, as well as to assess management's perception of the company's certification in this program. In order to obtain certification, companies must meet the requirements set out in RFB Normative Ordinance No. 2154 of July 26, 2023. The approach adopted in this study was qualitative, through case studies of a Capital Goods industry for the manufacture and sale of Paper Machines and parts and pieces, with objectives categorized as descriptive. The results revealed that, despite having more than five decades of experience, many of the program's compliance requirements were not fully met by the company. When assessing the outstanding issues, it was found that the development of the services in question is generally considered to be of low complexity. Although the company needs to make efforts to address these points, these actions are considered feasible and represent a foreign trade business development plan, considering all the benefits provided to certified companies
