Talk to HFGRBuilt on Guanabara Bay, working the whole map.
A trading house rooted in Centro, Rio de Janeiro.
HFGR was formed by a small team of trade specialists working out of Rio de Janeiro's historic commercial district — the same streets that have handled the city's customs paperwork since the port first opened to the world. From an office on Av. Rio Branco, we grew from arranging single container shipments into managing full import and export programs for manufacturers, distributors and buying houses.
Today HFGR moves agricultural goods, machinery, textiles and industrial components in both directions — helping Brazilian producers reach overseas buyers, and helping overseas suppliers reach the Brazilian market, without losing a shipment to paperwork along the way.

One point of contact
A single HFGR coordinator follows your cargo from quote to final delivery.
A gateway city, on purpose.
Rio de Janeiro sits on one of Brazil's oldest and busiest ports, with direct access to customs authorities, bonded warehouses and ocean carriers calling at Guanabara Bay. Keeping HFGR's desk on Av. Rio Branco — Centro's traditional trade corridor — keeps us close to the brokers, banks and shipping lines a cross-border shipment actually depends on.
