Brazil Mining Fleet Expansion
Objective
Deliver complete excavator assemblies (boom, stick, bucket) plus all fasteners in a single shipment—despite mid-project changes to Brazil’s customs regulations.
Approach
-
Packaging Redesign
We re-engineered crate layouts and documentation to comply with Brazil’s updated export-import rules. -
Customs Partnership
Engaged a local customs broker to navigate new requirements and fast-track clearance. -
HS Code Bundling
Consolidated spare sub-assemblies and critical parts under one harmonized system code to simplify inspections.
Outcome
-
5-Day Clearance
Shipment cleared Brazilian customs in just 5 days—versus a projected 45-day delay. -
Zero Downtime
All 20 excavators went live on schedule, with no idle days lost. -
Preferred Partner
The customer praised our agility and appointed PacificX as their go-to parts supplier for future expansions.
