Importing from China: strategy, process and opportunity

A practical view of importing from China, the hurdles along the way and the openings for Brazilian companies.

Abdala Costa has run Neeman — Customs Advisory since February 1983. That is more than four decades at the head of the same firm, advising Brazilian companies on imports and exports.

It is a rare trajectory in foreign trade: he lived through the trade opening of the 1990s, the computerisation of customs clearance and China’s rise as Brazil’s main trading partner — always on the side of the people who need the cargo to arrive. At XTransfer Connect he brings the practical view of someone who watched that change from inside the operation.

  • 1983 year Neeman was founded
  • 40+ years leading the firm
  • Import & Export focus of the practice
