Customs valuation is a critical component of international trade administration in both Brazil and the United States. Brazil follows MERCOSUR regulations and WTO Customs Valuation Agreement standards. In the USA, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) determines valuations based on the Tariff Act of 1930. Both countries use similar methodologies: transaction value, comparable value, deductive value, computed value, and fallback methods. Understanding proper customs valuation is essential for importers, exporters, and customs brokers to avoid penalties and ensure smooth cross-border commerce.
