UN/LOCODE Ports in Brazil (2 entries)

📊 Trade Context: Brazil operates Latin America's busiest port complex, led by the Port of Santos — the largest container handler in the Southern Hemisphere. Brazilian LOCODEs (prefix BR) are critical for Siscomex (Integrated Foreign Trade System) customs processing and Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA) cargo clearance. Santos alone handles over 25% of Brazil's total foreign trade, with soybeans, coffee, sugar, and frozen orange juice as key exports. Port congestion during soybean harvest season (February–May) regularly extends vessel waiting times — freight forwarders should factor in 3-7 day anchorage delays during peak agricultural export periods.
