Cobrança Perdida de Serviços Acessórios (Fumigação, Inspeção, Armazenagem)

4 verified sources

Definition

Search results [1] and [4] explicitly state: 'Storage not inclusive in this tariff. Additional services will be charged at costs when incurred due weather conditions, strikes, airport/port delays.' Fumigation 'is ready upon 72 hours from approval date and request' and 'Any shipment arriving in Brazil without proper wood treatment, will incur in additional fumigation.' However, manual processes fail to capture these events. Results [2], [3], [5] confirm accessorial fees for liftgate, detention, special handling often go unbilled because they are not proactively invoiced.

Key Findings

  • Financial Impact: Estimated: R$ 30,000–80,000 annually per freight operation; typical unbilled fumigation: R$ 800–2,500 per shipment; armed escort/GPS: R$ 1,500–5,000 per shipment. Industry average revenue leakage: 2–4% of total freight revenue due to missed accessorials.
  • Frequency: Per shipment requiring additional services (estimated 15–30% of all Brazil-bound cargo)
  • Root Cause: No system-triggered checklist for accessorial services; manual judgment calls by operational staff; lack of event-driven billing (fumigation approval date, storage triggering date)

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Brazilian freight forwarders lose R$ 30,000–80,000 annually per operation by forgetting to bill fumigation and escort services. Workflow automation that triggers accessorial charge proposals based on shipment origin/type eliminates revenue leakage.
