• Tariff cuts
  

  Submitting before official agencies, applications for benefits of this system, through which an importer company can be benefited from an import duty at a reduced rate, in order to purchase capital goods, as well as information system and telecommunication goods abroad, provided that all the established requirements are complied with.

• Partial shipments system
  

  This system, conceived for major investments, gives the importer-investor the possibility of carrying out partial shipments, which are part of the main work, due to its great complexity, volume or assembly schedule, which must be shipped at different times, and from different origins and / or sources. But the import duty to be paid will be that corresponding to the main work and not the one corresponding to its parts, making a classificatory unit. A significant saving amount is created through this situation, provided that the necessary guaranties are given and also that the requirements established by the regulation are complied with.

• Turn key Plants
  

  Within the scope of this system, free from import duties, the import of new goods for "Projects for installing New Industrial Plants" is allowed. This is filed by companies, which show an improvement project of their competitiveness approved by the relevant authority, provided that they are turn key condition contracts. All those interested in being benefited from the system must comply with the conditions set forth, as well as with the surrendering of documents requested by the authorizing entities.

Among our services, we offer our customers the international purchase, for those "hard" goods and with insufficient value, which mean a loss of time for the purchase department of the company, acting BROKERS as an external purchase agent. We take care of locating the product abroad, contacting the supplier, carrying out the international purchase, managing the payment method, shipping the equipment towards our country, taking all the necessary steps as regards the import and making the delivery at the domicile of the end user. The import can be carried out at BROKERS behalf, being this one the importer and purchaser of the good, which will be eventually sold in the customer's local market. This purchase will be considered a local purchase without any risk. Consult our advisors about the differences in this new service.

This is a service provided to those companies that want to reorganize, update or simply monitor the purchase department or international trade department of the company. The idea is to optimize the organization's resources, aiming at the costs' reduction; thus improving processes and decisions, as well as forecasts and estimates. Some of the main subjects analyzed by our specialists are import and export costs, logistic distribution chain, freight, insurance, warehousing, related services, financial impact and international payment methods. This service can be a service provided as a sort of permanent assistance support to the company, or simply carried out as a situation analysis. In any case, a final report is prepared, wherein the analysis of the result as well as the recommendations are included.

BROKERS has its own warehouse located in Buenos Aires, with a great storage capacity and quality for preserving the materials.

BROKERS has its own local transport company, with ample national coverage and great loading versatility. "TRANSPORTES PERU" provides a complete and efficient service, it has always worked with BROKERS and its customers.

We are in charge of the hiring, for special cases, generally significant projects, where equipment with considerable dimensions must be transported or stored, and which requires specially conditioned transportation or warehouses with certain temperature and humidity conditions. We also hire qualified personnel for fragile or hard-handled loading. We offer as well the hiring of security personnel for transport or in the premises.

We offer our customers, for certain occasions, the management in order to issue the Contingency Insurance Policy for customs guaranties. This is a new service, that we incorporate thanks to an agreement entered by the CHUBB de Fianzas y Garantías company, due to the reason that the insurance companies do not issue policies for small and medium sized companies or due to their request of a great quantity of documents, which is only a bureaucratic barrier.
