Agency import (por conta e ordem)
Columbia executes the import on the client's behalf, with the client as the acquirer from origin. Right when the company wants to keep commercial control and tax credits while delegating execution.
Solution 02
Import
The import model is not an administrative choice: it determines who carries the credit, where taxes fall and how inventory shows up on your balance sheet.
Order-based import (por encomenda)
Columbia imports with its own funds and resells the cleared goods to the orderer. Right when the priority is preserving cash and transferring international risk.
Direct import with advisory
The company imports in its own name and Columbia handles structuring, financing, customs and logistics execution.
