Transport modes
Which international mode makes sense for your cargo?
A comparison of the main modes by transit time, cost, ideal volume and best use case.
| Modal | Avg. transit time | Relative cost | Ideal volume / weight | Best use case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ocean | 25–45 days | Low | Large volumes and heavy cargo | Large-scale import/export (FCL and LCL). |
| Air | 1–7 days | High | Low volume e alto valor agregado | Urgency, perishables, samples and high-value cargo. |
| Road / Cabotage | 3–15 days | Medium | Medium volume on regional routes | Mercosur, coastal cabotage and domestic distribution. |
Transit times and costs are average market references and vary by route, origin, destination and cargo characteristics.
Vision Log specialty
We are specialists in multimodal transport.
Multimodal transport combines two or more modes — ocean, air, road, rail and inland waterway — in a single operation, under one contract and one point of responsibility. Instead of contracting and managing each leg separately, the client has Vision Log as a single point of control from end to end of the chain.
In practice, this means combining the best of each mode: the economy of ocean on long sea legs, the speed of air on critical connections and the reach of road and cabotage on the last mile. The result is a tailor-made route, with fewer handling steps, lower cost and more predictable deadlines.
- A single responsible party for the whole chain, with one transport document and end-to-end traceability.
- Optimized route that balances cost, time and safety according to the type of cargo.
- Global reach: multimodal combinations connecting Brazil to suppliers and markets on every continent.

Trust & Compliance
AEO certification · final stage
Vision Log in the final stage of AEO.
The AEO — Authorized Economic Operator (OEA in Brazil) is a certification granted by the Brazilian Customs to companies in the foreign-trade chain that demonstrate high standards of security and customs compliance. It is part of the international AEO program, created by the World Customs Organization and recognized by more than 90 countries.
In practice, the AEO seal is an official attestation that the company is a trustworthy, low-risk partner for customs — with audited processes, rigorous cargo control and proven governance. Vision Log is in the final stage of AEO certification, consolidating the level of security and compliance it already practices in its operations.
Current status: AEO certification in its final stage with the Brazilian Customs.

Frequently asked questions
Direct answers about logistics & foreign trade.
The essentials on foreign-trade operations, freight forwarding, customs clearance and logistics outsourcing.
What does a logistics and foreign-trade operator do?
A foreign-trade operator coordinates the entire import and export chain: freight forwarding, customs clearance, international transport, insurance and documentation.
In practice, it acts as a single point of responsibility between exporter, importer, carriers, airlines, hauliers and customs — ensuring goods leave the origin and reach the destination with time, cost and compliance under control. Typical activities include:
- Quoting and booking international freight;
- Customs clearance and duty management;
- Cargo insurance and risk management;
- Warehousing, handling and distribution.
What is the difference between freight forwarding and customs clearance?
Freight forwarding organizes the international transport of the cargo; customs clearance handles the release of the goods with customs.
They are complementary steps of the same operation. The freight forwarder negotiates space with carriers and airlines, issues the transport documents and coordinates the physical logistics. Customs clearance, carried out by a licensed broker, files the Import or Export Declaration, pays the duties and releases the goods.
How long does an import customs clearance take in Brazil?
On average 1 to 10 business days after the cargo arrives, depending on the inspection channel and the accuracy of the documentation.
The time depends on the channel assigned by the customs system:
- Green: automatic release, usually the same day;
- Yellow: document review;
- Red: document and physical inspection;
- Gray: customs valuation review, the slowest one.
What is project cargo (OOG) and how is it transported?
Project cargo or OOG (Out of Gauge) exceeds the dimensions of a standard container and requires dedicated equipment and logistics engineering.
These are machines, industrial structures and oversized or indivisible equipment. Transport uses solutions such as flat rack, open top, break bulk or specialized vessels, with route studies, permits and lifting plans. It is a tailor-made operation, from the berth of loading to final delivery.
Is it worth outsourcing my company's international logistics?
In most cases, yes. Outsourcing to a specialized operator reduces tax risk, gives access to a global network and frees your internal team.
Maintaining an in-house foreign-trade structure requires specialists, systems and constant legal updates. By outsourcing, the company gains cost predictability, freight-negotiation scale and technical responsibility for clearance — focusing on its core while the operator handles the international operation.
