New rules reshape cargo transport in Mercosur

oglobo9 September 2026 at 23:33

Road freight transport in Mercosur has entered a cycle of simultaneous regulatory changes at both regional and domestic levels. On November 6, 2025, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay completed the signing of the Eighth Additional Protocol to the Agreement on International Land Transport (ATIT), which fully replaces Annex I on Customs Aspects.

The new protocol expands the annex's scope, replaces guarantees constituted by carrier vehicles with formal guarantees, and adopts selectivity through risk analysis, with advance declarations and electronic seals.

In Brazil, Law 15.485, enacted on August 5, 2026, requires that all paid road freight transport operations be registered in advance through the Transport Operation Identification Code (CIOT).

Brazilian legislation also limits the freight payment deadline to 30 business days and establishes a 90-day period for adjustment of ongoing contracts.

Petrobras adjusts gasoline, but tax reduces impact

Petrobras announced a R$ 0.19 increase in gasoline prices, eliminating a previously offered discount. However, a R$ 0.63 reduction in federal taxes on fuels offsets the impact of the price adjustment, keeping the final price paid by consumers practically unchanged. The measure reflects the state-owned company's pricing policy and the government's decisions regarding fuel taxation.
