Brazil to USA Freight Forwarding

Brazil is South America's industrial and agricultural giant, and its US-bound trade runs deep: the world's largest coffee exports, premium granite and quartzite from Espírito Santo, hardwood and wood products, foods, and manufactured goods. The Brazil-USA lane connects Santos — Latin America's largest port — and specialized ports like Vitória (stone) and Itajaí with US gateways, on transits short enough (2-3 weeks to the East Coast) to keep supply chains lively.

AGF Advantage on This Lane

AGF serves Brazilian cargo through vetted WCA partners at every major Brazilian port, with US-side expertise tuned to what Brazil actually ships: green coffee handling and food compliance, slab-bracing standards for stone cargo, and Lacey Act documentation discipline for wood products. Brazilian export bureaucracy rewards forwarders who know the paperwork — ours do, on both sides of the equator. One thing worth flagging on this corridor in 2026: the US tariff position on Brazilian goods has changed three times in twelve months — a broad tariff in August 2025, targeted agricultural exemptions in November 2025 that spared coffee, and further duties in July 2026 on categories including sugar, apparel, paper and steel. Which of your lines are affected depends on classification and on which measure is current at entry, so we verify it at quoting rather than carrying forward an earlier answer.
