Challenges of the metallurgical and steel industry's foreign trade
Importing and exporting steel requires keeping track of quotas, trade defenses, and tariff classifications that change from month to month.
Tariff quotas by NCM (Mercosur Common Nomenclature)
19 types of steel operate under quotas. Once the limit is exceeded, the rate rises to 25% — and each NCM (Brazilian Customs Nomenclature) has its own balance to reflect this.
Antidumping measures and trade defense
Specific anti-dumping duties based on the origin and type of steel change the cost of operations from one month to the next, without prior notice.
Non-automatic licensing
Many steel NCM codes require a prior import license (LI). Applying at the last minute delays customs clearance and halts the production line.
Sensitive NCM classification
A small difference between laminated, semi-finished, or coated materials changes the tax rate and quota eligibility—and can lead to penalties.
How does Narwal solve it?
Specialized modules for those who import and export steel, metals, and steel products.
Native integration with ERP
It connects to SAP, Senior, Sankhya, and TOTVS so that orders, invoices, and costs can be transferred between foreign trade and finance without retyping.
Management of tariff quotas by NCM (Mercosur Common Nomenclature).
Real-time monitoring of quota balance, with alerts before exceeding the limit and switching to the full rate.
Trade defense monitoring
Anti-dumping measures and additional duties by origin and product are always up-to-date, without relying on manual checking.
Non-automatic licensing
Monitoring of line loads in advance, preventing line stoppages due to blocked dispatch operations.
Import cost simulation
Calculate import tax, quota rate, antidumping duties, IPI (Brazilian federal excise tax), and ICMS (Brazilian state sales tax) before finalizing the purchase—avoiding surprises during customs clearance.
