The Freight Surcharge for Renewal of the Merchant Navy Was Created to Support the Development of the Sector

The new amount of the Freight Surcharge for Renewal of the Merchant Navy (AFRMM) is now in effect, reducing the import tax amount. This happened with the promulgation of the vetoed parts of Law No. 14,301 of January 7, 2022, published in the Official Gazette on March 25, 2022. The tax’s main function is to support the reconstruction of the fleet and the Brazilian shipbuilding and repair industry.

Thus, the amounts are as follows:

Long-Distance Navigation (applies to import) – 8% (was 25%);
Cabotage Navigation – 8% (was 10%);
River and Lake Navigation, for the transportation of liquid bulk in the North and Northeast Regions – 40% (remained the same);
River and Lake Navigation, for the transportation of solid bulk and other cargo in the North and Northeast Regions – 8% (was 40%).

“This reduction will be important for reducing the cost of the entire logistics chain in Brazil,” comments Helmuth Hofstatter, CEO of Logcomex. “As a result, the tendency is for products to end up becoming cheaper for the final consumer.”

To calculate the AFRMM, it is necessary to apply the fee on the amount charged for freight. If an Import has a freight (adding all the aforementioned costs) of R$2,000.00, it will be necessary to apply the percentage of 8% + R$21.20 for Merchant System Usage Fee, which will result as follows:

Freight = R$2,000.00;
AFRMM (Long Distance) = 8%;
Merchant System Usage Fee: R$ 21.20;
(2000 x 0.08) + 21.20 = R$ 181.20.

Previously, this amount to be paid would be R$521.20. To assist in the calculation of import taxes, Logcomex developed a spreadsheet for calculating import costs. The download is free.

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

After 377 years of history, the Brazilian Army will have its first female general: Colonel Claudia Cacho has been promoted to brigadier general by Lula and will receive the sword and command baton this Wednesday in Brasília.

Mercado Livre, Shopee, and Amazon are expected to tighten tax rules on online sales, pressure small retailers, and change the game of Brazilian e-commerce with tax withholding and less space for irregular sellers.

While Japan and Germany lose ground, China surges ahead and becomes the largest vehicle manufacturer in the world with over 30 million units per year, dominating global production and leading the electric car revolution.

2.2 billion reais, 6 hybrid ships, and over 1,200 jobs: the future of Petrobras is being built in a city of only 86,000 inhabitants on the coast of Santa Catarina and will change the economy of the region.

A resident of Santa Catarina found a tunnel over 10,000 years old dug by animals the size of a car on her own property, and the video of the discovery has already surpassed 3 million views on social media.

The project that was supposed to be ready for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil debuted with a 12-year delay and nearly R$ 6 billion invested: the Line 17-Gold of the São Paulo monorail opened with reduced hours and is only expected to operate fully in October.

A Mercado Livre customer opened their package and found 32 resumes of people looking for jobs crumpled as protective paper inside the box, exposing names, addresses, documents, and phone numbers of dozens of candidates.

An Indian tree that grows in the Brazilian Northeast produces an oil capable of acting against more than 200 species of pests and interrupting the insect cycle, gaining ground as a natural alternative in soybean, cotton, and vegetable crops.

How a 131-ton, 11-meter propeller supports 90% of global trade and transforms the largest container ships on the planet.

With a length of 225 meters and a capacity of 76 thousand tons, this ship “sinks” its own deck down to 28 meters deep to accommodate war destroyers, oil platforms, and giant radars floating above, and then emerges with everything intact on top like a colossal tray crossing oceans.

With a length of 108 meters and a giant spoon shape, the FLIP was the only ship in the world capable of rotating 90 degrees in the ocean and remaining vertical, with 91 meters submerged, operating for 60 years until it was retired and sent to the scrapyard in 2023.
