Manufacturing
Export strategy, compliance and U.S. distribution for manufacturers selling finished goods into the U.S.
Industries
Sector expertise where U.S. entry is most complex.
We focus on six sectors where buyers, channels and rules in the U.S. differ most from home markets. Select a sector to see how we work.
Manufacturing advisory
From a factory in Latin America to a U.S. purchase order.
Brazilian and Latin American manufacturers of food, chemicals, cosmetics, textiles, furniture, toys, building materials and machinery often bring a cost or quality edge that U.S. buyers notice. The deal is decided by landed cost after duties and freight, by compliance with the rules for each product category, and by finding the importer, distributor or retail buyer that will commit to volume. We test which products and which U.S. regions make sense, then build the route to the first purchase order and the reorders after it.

Which products, price points and U.S. regions to prioritize, based on import data, competing suppliers and buyer demand.
Landed cost and tariffs
Tariff classification, duties, freight and margin modeled with customs brokers, including tariff scenarios, since U.S. trade measures on Brazilian and other Latin American goods have changed often.
Product compliance and labeling
The rules for your category, such as FDA for food and cosmetics, CPSC testing for children's products, EPA rules for chemicals and FTC labeling for textiles, handled with specialist partners.
Buyers, distribution and operations
Importer of record, distributors, retail and private-label buyers, warehousing and supplier requirements such as product liability insurance, sized to your volume.
Consumer Products
Brand, channel and pricing strategy for consumer brands entering U.S. retail and e-commerce.
Consumer products advisory
Positioning consumer brands for U.S. retail and e-commerce.
Food and beverage, beauty, home and wellness brands often find that what worked in the home market does not replicate automatically. U.S. shoppers use different comparison criteria, retailers expect specific terms and margins, and labeling rules vary by category. We help consumer brands define where to start and structure the path to the first U.S. sale and the first reorder.

Investment & Development
Feasibility, location and capital planning for investment and development projects in the U.S.
Investment & development advisory
Projects structured to clear a U.S. investment committee.
Companies and investors planning a U.S. facility, a development or a new venture need numbers that hold up to local scrutiny. We build feasibility from independent market evidence, compare locations and structure the plan with the partners and documentation that U.S. lenders, partners and boards expect.

International Trade

International trade advisory
Trade structures that hold from contract to customs clearance.
For exporters and importers, the U.S. opportunity is decided by details: product classification, applicable duties, the landed cost of each unit and who distributes after customs clearance. We structure your trade with the U.S. so the first shipment arrives on schedule and the margin is preserved.

Artificial Intelligence
U.S. go-to-market for AI companies, and applied AI for companies building their U.S. operation.
Artificial intelligence advisory
AI adoption and go-to-market with measurable results.
We work with AI companies taking their products to U.S. buyers, and with companies that want AI built into their U.S. operation from day one. The test is the same in both cases: a use case tied to a measurable result, the right build-or-buy choice and safeguards that U.S. customers and reviewers will accept.
Book a consultationUse cases with a measurable result
Workflows where AI changes cost, speed or accuracy, with the metric that proves it.
Go-to-market for AI products
Positioning, pricing and pilots designed around how U.S. companies evaluate and buy AI.
Build, buy or partner
Model, vendor and data choices matched to your budget, your data and your risk tolerance.
Responsible use and privacy
Evaluation, human oversight and data practices aligned with U.S. customer expectations and state privacy rules, reviewed with counsel.
Technology
Go-to-market, pricing and U.S. setup for software and technology companies.
Technology advisory
From domestic product-market fit to U.S. revenue.
Technology companies usually arrive with a proven product and a sales model that does not transfer directly to the U.S. market. U.S. buyers expect references, security reviews and contracts on their own terms, and they benchmark price against local alternatives. We help technology companies secure their first U.S. customers and build the base for consistent growth.
Book a consultationHow U.S. buyers purchase
Buying committees, procurement steps and security reviews, such as SOC 2 requests, mapped before you build pipeline.
Pricing and packaging in dollars
Price points, plans and contract terms benchmarked against U.S. alternatives.
Entity, tax and data setup
U.S. entity, sales-tax exposure and data-hosting decisions coordinated with partner CPAs and counsel.
Partners and channels
Resellers, integrators and marketplaces that shorten the path to the first customers.
