IMPORTS ON ACCOUNT AND ORDER OF THIRD PARTIES

​

Import on behalf of a third party is a service provided by a company (importer) which promotes, on its behalf, the import of goods purchased by another legal entity (acquirer) in accordance with a previously signed contract, which may also comprise the provision of other services related to the commercial transaction, such as price quotation and commercial intermediation.

​

IMPORT BY ORDER

​

It is an import modality where the legal entity (importer) is contracted with the objective of promoting, in its name and with its resources, the customs clearance of foreign goods, with the purpose of resale to the ordering party.

​

In this case, unlike the import by account and order modality, there is no transfer of funds to make the operation viable.  

​

In other words, it is basically like an own import, where the payment for the import is made in full in the name of the importing company.
