Know who you’re really buying fromin Brazil.

You found a supplier online. You want to know they're a real, registered business before you wire money.

The free identity check confirms the company exists in Brazil's federal registry, has been trading for more than a few weeks, and actually does what it says — not from their website, from the legal record.

• Legally registered — Confirmed active on Receita Federal — the same registry every Brazilian bank, customs authority, and tax office uses.
• Trading for years, not weeks — Incorporation date from the federal registry. A company registered last month is a different conversation to one that has been filing taxes since 2009.
• Actually does what it says — Primary business activity (CNAE) confirmed against the federal record. If they say they export coffee but their registered activity is software consulting, you’ll know.
• Real people behind it — Ownership and directors (QSA) from the federal registry — names, roles, and the date each person joined. Not a website bio. The legal record.

You need a documented, source-attributed screen — sanctions, forced labor, debarment, and corruption admissions.

The full report checks all six registries live at query time — not from a cache — plus EU Deforestation Regulation context, and delivers a timestamped PDF, Word, and Excel file for the compliance record. No score. No rating. No verdict. Just the primary sources.

• Company identity & ownership — Legal status, incorporation date, share capital, beneficial owners (QSA) — Receita Federal
• Lista Suja — Forced labor — Ministry of Labor
• CEIS / CNEP — Federal debarment and anti-corruption penalties
• Leniency Agreements — Admitted corruption under Lei 12.846/2013
• OFAC SDN + UN — International sanctions — both lists
• Supply chain transparency — Trase.earth soy/beef export data — EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) context

Your goods held at the US border

US Customs enforces Section 307 of the Tariff Act against goods made with forced labor, and Brazilian shipments have been subject to Withhold Release Orders under it before. Lista Suja is Brazil's own government registry of employers found to have used conditions analogous to forced labor — a match is a real, verifiable red flag for exactly the kind of supply chain CBP scrutinizes, not a theoretical one.

Paying a company barred from government contracts

CEIS and CNEP are Brazil's federal debarment and anti-corruption penalty registries. A supplier on either list has been formally sanctioned by the Brazilian government — often for fraud, bribery, or contract violations. Doing business with a debarred entity can expose your own organisation to reputational and compliance risk with your own clients.

Doing business with an admitted corruption case

Brazil's Leniency Agreements registry records companies that formally admitted to corruption, fraud, or cartel conduct under the Anti-Corruption Law (Lei 12.846/2013), in exchange for reduced penalties. It's a different fact than debarment — a self-reported admission, not a unilateral government sanction — and a company can appear here without ever showing up on CEIS/CNEP.

Breaching OFAC or UN sanctions

OFAC civil penalties currently run up to $377,700 per violation, or twice the transaction value if greater — and OFAC's SDN list includes entities operating through Brazilian corporate structures. The UN Security Council Consolidated List carries equivalent obligations for EU and UK-based buyers. Neither list carries a Brazilian tax ID, so a name-match check is the only available screen — and the only one most buyers never run.

The company you're paying doesn't legally exist

Brazil's Receita Federal registry is the authoritative source on whether a CNPJ is active, suspended, or cancelled. Inactive CNPJs are used in invoice fraud. A company's registered activity (CNAE) and ownership (QSA) also tell you whether the entity you're dealing with is actually authorised to do what it says it does — information that doesn't appear on a supplier's own website.

An EU deforestation deadline arriving with no evidence trail

The EU Deforestation Regulation requires large and medium operators to prove soy, beef, and several other commodities are deforestation-free and file a Due Diligence Statement through the EU's TRACES system by 30 December 2026 — five months from now. Brazil is currently rated a "standard risk" country under the EU's own benchmarking. BrazilCheck's Supply Chain Transparency section uses Trase.earth's export-level deforestation exposure data so you have evidence before that deadline, not after.

Confirms the company legally exists and is authorized to trade — inactive or suspended CNPJs are a common invoice-fraud vector.

A match is the same signal Brazilian federal auditors use to identify forced-labor risk in a supply chain.

A listed company has been formally barred from public contracts — a debarment signal financial institutions treat as a red flag.

A match means the company formally admitted to corruption, fraud, or cartel conduct under Brazil’s Anti-Corruption Law — a self-reported finding, not a mere accusation.

A match carries civil penalties up to $377,700 per violation, or twice the transaction value if greater — for the US party, not just the Brazilian one.

Carries equivalent screening obligations for EU- and UK-based buyers under their own sanctions regimes.

The supplier gets flagged next year, not today

A clean report timestamped before you placed the order is proof you exercised due diligence at the time — not an after-the-fact excuse assembled once something already went wrong.

Your bank or auditor asks if you checked

A source-attributed PDF with a generation date answers that question. "We were confident in them" does not — and is not something you can hand to a compliance file.

A shipment gets held and someone asks why you didn’t know

You can show exactly what Brazil’s own federal registries said about this supplier on the day you ordered — sourced, dated, and independently verifiable by whoever is asking.

Minutes, not a two-week questionnaire

Enter a CNPJ, get a report. No account, no sales call, no enterprise contract — pay once, download once.

A clean result is evidence too

If nothing comes up across all six registries, that is itself a useful, documented finding — not a wasted $49. You get the full report either way, with every source cited.
