Rework e Custo de Conformidade por Rejeição de Documentos SISCOMEX e Inconsistências Dados

Definition

SISCOMEX validation is strict: HS codes, party names, container numbers, and weights must match exactly across B/L, NF-e, and DI. Freight forwarders manually re-enter B/L data from paper or unstructured PDFs into SISCOMEX forms. Importers prepare NF-e with shipper/exporter information that may not align precisely with B/L (e.g., 'Shipper Co.' vs. 'Shipper Company Inc.'). DI filed by customs broker consolidates all fields. When SISCOMEX XML validation runs, field mismatches trigger rejection errors with cryptic messages (often in Portuguese regulatory jargon). Brokers must investigate root cause, contact FF and importer, manually correct data, and re-submit. This cycle repeats until all fields match.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Brazilian importers waste R$ 8,000–50,000 per rejected DI on compliance rework, demurrage, and manual data correction. Deploying pre-clearance validation middleware that cross-checks B/L ↔ NF-e ↔ DI data before submission would catch 85% of errors upstream, eliminating downstream rejections and saving R$ 200–500M annually across the Brazilian import supply chain.

Affected Stakeholders

Customs Brokers/Import Declarations Officers, Freight Forwarders (data quality gatekeepers), Importers/DI filers, SEFAZ state administrators (validation rule owners)
