In addition to the benefits of simplifying procedures in a single resolution, the resolution ANP No. 777/2019 came to eliminate bureaucracy and make it possible for distributors to directly import products consistent with the activity for which they are authorized, such as the creation, by distributors themselves, of companies just to carry out their imports.
The new resolution not only came to reduce bureaucracy, but also to expand the control and inspection capacity of the ANP, standardizing the list of information necessary to carry out the approval of licenses in the Integrated Foreign Trade System (Siscomex) and to expand the action capacity of the Agency in the fight against adulteration of fuels, making final methanol consumers, who import the product directly, become regulated agents.
