SL2 Consultoria

What SL2 Consultoria does

SL2 Consultoria is a privately held Brazilian customs and foreign trade consulting firm founded in 2004 and headquartered in São Paulo. The company specializes in advisory, auditing, and ongoing management of the Drawback Special Customs Regime, which allows Brazilian industrial exporters to suspend or reduce import taxes (II, IPI, PIS, Cofins, ICMS) on raw materials and components committed to exported goods. Its core service is end-to-end Drawback project execution covering diagnosis, Ato Concessório planning, implementation, and lifecycle management, delivered through custom engagements priced per project scope. SL2 supplements its consulting work with a proprietary internal technology stack: a Siscomex data capture system that extracts import/export records directly from the Brazilian government's foreign trade portal without requiring SERPRO connectivity, and an internal Drawback management system incorporating FIFO movement tracking and KPI reporting.

The firm serves enterprise industrial exporters across at least six verticals — automotive and parts, mining and minerals processing, paints and coatings, electronics, food processing, and machinery and equipment. Customer acquisition is sales-led and direct, leveraging website contact channels (WhatsApp, phone, email), content marketing through blog articles and a free Drawback e-book, and email newsletters managed via RD Station. Adjacent service lines include Repetro-Industrialização consulting, bulk Import Declaration rectification (Retificação de DI em Bloco), and Revisão Aduaneira (customs compliance review). Over its 20+ year history the company has managed more than 1,000 Drawback concession acts and claims to have delivered over R$16 million in cumulative tax burden reduction for clients.

The company operates with 1-10 employees, no disclosed institutional funding, no parent organization, and a single Brazil-only geographic footprint. One named manager is Benedito Eduardo Silva (Operations Manager). Its revenue model is professional services on multi-year contracts, with technology serving as an internal delivery tool rather than a separately monetized SaaS product.

Emerging players

• Contabilizei (or similar Brazilian accounting platforms with trade modules): Brazilian accounting/tech platforms increasingly add trade compliance modules for SMEs. Comparable as an emerging player addressing customs/foreign trade needs of smaller Brazilian exporters that may also need Drawback support.

Broad incumbents

• PwC Brasil (Customs and International Trade): PwC's Brazilian Trade and Customs practice advises exporters on duty optimization, customs regimes, and trade compliance. Comparable in addressing the same regulatory pain points for industrial exporters, though as part of a much wider advisory portfolio.
• KPMG Brasil (Trade & Customs Services): KPMG's Brazilian Trade & Customs practice supports exporters with customs optimization, including Drawback-related advisory. Comparable as a Big-4 incumbent serving the same Brazilian industrial exporter base, but with a broader service portfolio.
• BDO Brasil (Customs and Trade Advisory): BDO Brazil offers indirect tax and customs advisory services to exporters, including support for special customs regimes. Comparable as a mid-tier incumbent providing customs compliance services to the same Brazilian exporter client base.
• EY Brasil (Trade & Customs): EY's Brazilian office has an Indirect Tax and Trade practice advising on customs regimes including Drawback for major corporate clients. Comparable as a large-scale customs and trade compliance advisor, though broader scope and global delivery model.
• Grant Thornton Brasil (Trade & Customs): Grant Thornton's Brazilian office provides indirect tax and customs advisory to industrial exporters. Comparable in serving the same Drawback-relevant client segments, though as part of a multi-disciplinary audit and advisory firm.
• Deloitte Brazil (Trade & Customs Advisory): Deloitte's Brazilian practice includes a Trade & Customs advisory team serving large multinational exporters with broader consulting services. Comparable as a customs/trade compliance advisor for Brazilian industrial exporters, but at significantly larger scale and broader portfolio than SL2.
• Thomson Reuters (ONESOURCE Global Trade): ONESOURCE Global Trade is a major enterprise trade compliance software platform used by large exporters globally. Comparable as an indirect competitor offering technology-driven solutions to the same customs/trade compliance pain points SL2 addresses manually for mid-market clients.

Regional players

• Lex Aduana (Consultoria Aduaneira): Lex Aduana is a Brazilian customs and foreign trade consultancy serving exporters with regulatory advisory. Comparable as a domestic Brazilian niche customs consulting firm addressing similar Drawback and trade compliance needs.
• Almeida Rotterman Advogados (Trade Practice): A Brazilian law firm with an active trade and customs practice advising on special regimes and compliance matters. Comparable as a regional customs/foreign trade advisor serving industrial exporters in Brazil.
