In a globalized world, institutions and organizations must have up-to-date information and be trained to face the challenges of foreign trade.

Let us share our knowledge and experience on a variety of topics, including customs, tariffs, rules of origin, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, technical barriers to trade, customs procedures, trade defense measures, trade facilitation, training of trainers, and other trade-related practices.

At CATRADE we give face-to-face conferences or webinar, workshops and courses in our areas of expertise, as well as our extensive experience as facilitators of public-private workshops for consensus-building and policy validation.

Public management of foreign trade must be technology-intensive. New tools add value to processes, help reduce costs, and facilitate and simplify procedures. At the same time, they have great potential to increase levels of legal certainty and improve transparency.

At Grupo CATRADE, we support automation processes related to trade administration. With our knowledge of trade rules and the support of strategic partners in information systems and technology, we develop innovative tools that positively impact the management of public policies on foreign trade.

Based on these tools, we also develop manuals and practical guides for foreign trade users and the commercial community on various topics related to trade agreements.

To make them effective and contribute to improving the competitiveness of economies, it is necessary not only to have a medium- and long-term vision, but also to coordinate and bring together a large number of actors and institutions.

At Grupo CATRADE, we offer a multidisciplinary team of professionals with regional and international experience, capable of advising governments and international organizations on the following practices:
