Customs transit declaration

DTA: transporting cargo under customs transit

The DTA (customs transit declaration) lets the cargo leave the place of arrival before customs clearance and travel, under the control of Brazil's Federal Revenue Service, to another bonded facility, such as a dry port, where the goods are cleared through customs.

Aldebaran carries DTA cargo from the Port of Santos and the airports, with the seal checked on departure and on arrival and the cargo tracked along the entire route.

How it works

  1. DTA filing

    The importer, usually through the customs broker, files the transit to the destination facility.

  2. Sealed pickup

    We pick up the cargo at the terminal or the airport, with the seal checked on departure.

  3. Delivery to the facility

    The cargo arrives at the destination bonded facility, where customs clearance takes place.

It makes sense when

  • The cargo will be cleared at a dry port or another bonded facility.
  • You want to get the cargo out of the arrival terminal as soon as possible.
