Manaus Free Trade Zone Bonded Warehouse

Defer ICMS tax and free up your working capital.

The Manaus Free Trade Zone Bonded Warehouse is a customs regime that lets you bond goods with ICMS tax deferred for up to 270 days. You pay the tax only when you sell — and the capital that would sit idle keeps working in your operation.

What it is

A tax regime that becomes cash-flow headroom.

The Manaus Free Trade Zone Bonded Warehouse is one of the most strategic — and most underused — tools in Brazilian logistics. It lets you bond goods with ICMS tax deferred for up to 270 days, postponing the tax and freeing up working capital. In practice, you bond the cargo, hold the stock under the regime and only pay the tax when the sale happens. A cost paid upfront becomes a cost paid at the right time.

  • ICMS deferred for up to 270 days
  • Tax paid only at the moment of sale

How it works

From bonding to tax payment.

The tax follows the sale, not the arrival. Here is the path goods take within the regime — with tax management handled by Supporte.

  1. Bonding

    Goods enter the bonded warehouse with ICMS already deferred on arrival — no tax paid upfront.

  2. Storage under ICMS deferral

    Stock is held under the special regime, with control, traceability and security, for up to 270 days.

  3. Tax and customs management

    All documentation and regime control handled by Supporte — you focus on selling, we handle compliance.

  4. Sale and release

    When goods are sold, they leave the bonded warehouse straight to the customer — supplying any region in Brazil.

  5. ICMS payment

    The tax is paid only at the moment of sale — turning an upfront cost into a cost at the right time.

Where bonded warehousing is available

Three hubs under the same benefit.

From the origin of the regime in Manaus to the distribution corridors of the Southeast, Midwest and Northeast — bond at one hub and sell across the country.
