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
Coordinating operations that combine different modes.
Many foreign-trade operations combine two or more modes — ocean, air, road, rail or inland waterway. Vision Log coordinates these steps with carriers, airlines, hauliers and terminals, following each leg from the start to the end of the chain.
In practice, this means using the best of each mode: the economy of ocean freight 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 route planned for the cargo, with fewer handling steps and more predictable timing.
- Integrated coordination of legs and providers, with visibility of operational milestones.
- Planned route that balances cost, time and safety according to the cargo.
- Global reach: operations connecting Brazil to suppliers and markets on every continent.

Trust & Compliance
AEO (OEA) certification · in progress
Vision Log is in the AEO (OEA) certification process.
OEA — Operador Econômico Autorizado is the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service program that certifies foreign-trade companies demonstrating compliance with security and customs-compliance criteria. It follows the World Customs Organization’s AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) concept.
Vision Log is currently in the OEA certification process. Once certified, applicable benefits will depend on the certification modality granted and on the relevant Mutual Recognition Agreements.
Current status: OEA certification in progress with the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service.
Differentiated customs treatment
Certified companies may receive differentiated treatment in clearance, according to the modality granted.
Supply-chain security
Preparing for OEA involves documented processes, cargo control and risk management.
Predictability
Standardized processes contribute to more predictable operations.
Mutual recognition
In countries with a Mutual Recognition Agreement in force with Brazil, the certification may be recognized by that customs authority.
FAQ
Logistics in Brazil: direct answers.
What international companies usually ask before shipping to or from Brazil.
Can Vision Log coordinate logistics in Brazil for a foreign company?
Yes. Vision Log coordinates the Brazil side of international shipments — arrival, customs coordination, inland transport and delivery — for importers, exporters and freight agents abroad.
We are based in São Paulo and communicate in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Which freight modes does Vision Log support?
Ocean freight (FCL, LCL, special containers and break bulk), air freight, and road and coastal transport within Brazil.
Many shipments combine modes; we coordinate each leg with the carriers and providers involved.
Can Vision Log coordinate customs clearance in Brazil?
Yes. We coordinate import and export clearance on the Portal Único Siscomex, including document review and follow-up until release.
Timing depends on the operation, documents, inspection channel, agency approvals, cargo type and mode — there is no single clearance time.
What should be validated before shipping cargo to Brazil?
Consignee and importer details, a consistent invoice and packing list, HS/NCM classification and any required licenses.
Confirming cargo readiness, dimensions and weight before booking also avoids changes and extra costs.
Why is the cheapest freight quote not always the lowest total cost?
Because total logistics cost includes origin and destination charges, storage, demurrage, insurance, duties and the cost of delays.
A low rate with long transit, transshipments or short free time can end up costing more once the cargo reaches Brazil.
