For companies dreaming of expanding their horizons, the first barrier is also the first step: RADAR SISCOMEX Authorization (Registration and Tracking of Customs Interveners’ Activities).
Think of RADAR as your company’s passport to global trade. Without it, it’s impossible to register operations that are part of the
But don’t worry. Understanding what RADAR is and how to obtain it is the starting point to demystifying foreign trade. In this guide, we’ll explain everything you need to know.
What is RADAR Authorization and why is it Crucial?
RADAR is a mandatory registration for individuals and legal entities wishing to operate in foreign trade. It functions as a control system by the Federal Revenue Service to ensure the legality and transparency of operations.
RADAR Authorization is crucial for 3 main reasons:
- Permission to Operate: Without RADAR, it’s impossible to access SISCOMEX (Integrated Foreign Trade System), the platform where all your operations are registered.
- Security and Compliance: The system helps combat fraud and other illicit activities, protecting the market and companies that operate correctly.
- Customs Control: It allows the Federal Revenue Service to monitor the flow of goods and ensure the correct collection of taxes, keeping your company compliant throughout the customs clearance process.
Types of RADAR: which is Ideal for your Business?
The Federal Revenue Service classifies authorization into modalities that vary according to your company’s financial capacity. Choosing the correct category is essential.
- RADAR Express: Ideal for large volumes, usually granted to corporations, public agencies, and order operations. Its limits are more flexible.
- RADAR Limited: The most common for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is divided into two subtypes, based on the import value every six months:
- Limited up to $50,000: For companies that are just starting.
- Limited up to $150,000: For businesses with a moderate volume of operations.
- RADAR Unlimited: Intended for companies with proven high financial capacity, with no value ceiling for imports.

How to Obtain RADAR: Documentation and Key Steps
The process involves proving the legal existence and financial capacity of your company. The most common documents include:

- Partners: ID, CPF, proof of residence, personal income tax return.
- Financial: Corporate income tax return, bank statements.
- Fiscal: Negative Debt Certificates (federal, state, municipal) and FGTS.
The process follows these steps: 1. Gathering Documents → 2. Submitting the Request to the Federal Revenue Service → 3. Fiscal Analysis → 4. Approval and Authorization. Once approved, RADAR is enabled and the company can finally start its import processes, an essential guide we detail here.
