Supply Chain Solutions

Set Up Your Local Supply Chain in Brazil—Without the Complexity.

Novatrade handles the full operation—from import, compliance, and storage to nationwide delivery and returns—so you can focus on growth while we take care of execution.

Why International Companies Need More Than Just a Warehouse

Foreign companies cannot store and distribute goods in Brazil without a local importer. Warehousing requires legal registration, tax compliance and a licensed importer. Companies that try to set up local stock without an importer face regulatory penalties, blocked shipments and financial losses.

How We Solve this:

Acts as your Importer of Record (IOR) or establishes your Local Company to legally clear and store your goods.

Handles customs clearance & bonded storage for tax-optimized inventory management.

Provides full warehousing & fulfillment solutions to speed up deliveries.

Manages tax compliance such as invoicing to avoid penalties.

Client’s Success Stories

Challenge: Tools for Humanity, a global tech company co-founded by Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) , needed to rapidly deploy biometric devices across Brazil for a major crypto initiative— without setting up local logistics infrastructure.

Solution: Novatrade acted as Importer of Record (IOR), storing devices in local warehouses and managing nationwide distribution and delivery.

Outcome: Tools for Humanity scaled quickly in Brazil with full supply chain execution—ensuring speed, compliance, and nationwide reach without a local entity.

Challenge: Meoty, a premium wellness brand in Brazil, needed to scale operations while keeping its lean structure focused on sales and brand building.

Solution: Although Meoty owns a local entity, it outsourced all supply chain, import, warehousing, distribution, and financial back-office operations to Novatrade.

Outcome: By relying on Novatrade’s infrastructure, Meoty operates efficiently and focuses entirely on sales growth—without managing logistics or compliance internally.

Outcome: Heliopotasse established a compliant and efficient supply chain in Brazil, accessing a highly regulated market while focusing on customer development.

Challenge: Torus, a global industrial equipment manufacturer, needed a local after-sales structure in Brazil—including spare parts inventory and technical support—without establishing a local entity.

Outcome: Torus improved service responsiveness, reduced downtime for clients, and strengthened its position in the LATAM market.
