Trade Facilitation Agreement between Brazil and Peru

Today (11/27/2018) Brazil signed a trade facilitation agreement with Peru. Such agreement is related to the Operador Econômico Autorizado (OEA) program regulated in Brazil by the Instrução Normativa RFB nº 1.598/2015. The purposes of this type of agreement are a reduction in red tape and in the number and frequency of import and export shipment inspections, and therefore to foster international trade. Similar agreements have been  signed between Brazil and other countries, like Bolivia in 2017. You can find more information about the Brazilian OEA program in the following link.
