DAT is not merely a tracking document. It is an operation that connects DU-E, customs facilities, transportation, cutoff, seal, receipt and evidence within a single control chain.

Tectril coordinates the exporter, customs broker, customs facility, carrier and terminal beginning with the route assessment.
The result is a predictable, traceable transfer supported by evidence through receipt at the port or airport of departure.

Protection before cutoff

Three gates that protect the DAT transfer

Each gate stops an inconsistency before it becomes a delay, additional cost or customs risk.

GATE 01

Export Readiness & Route Gate™

Validates the DU-E, cargo, customs facility, point of departure, cutoff, route and stakeholders.

Prevents → unworkable route
GATE 02

DU-E & DAT Readiness Gate™

Reconciles the tax invoice, DU-E, DAT, commercial documents, vehicle and release conditions.

Prevents → document discrepancies
GATE 03

Terminal Reception Evidence Gate™

Confirms arrival, terminal receipt and organization of handover evidence.

Prevents → transit without formal discharge

ICMS, ISS and billing

The tax treatment of an export transfer depends on the nature of each transportation leg

The export of the goods does not automatically make every transportation service immune or exempt from taxation. The route, municipality, state, service recipient, tax document and documented link to the export determine the applicable treatment.

01 · INTERMUNICIPAL

Service generally subject to ICMS

Transportation between municipalities is generally subject to state taxation. Any immunity, non-taxation or exemption requires the appropriate legal basis and supporting documentation.

02 · INTERSTATE

Route and state tax rules

For interstate routes, the place of supply, service recipient, CFOP, CT-e, link to the export and the rules of the states involved must be assessed.

03 · INTRAMUNICIPAL

Potential ISS liability

When transportation occurs within the same municipality, the service may be subject to ISS and require an NFS-e, depending on the applicable municipal legislation.

04 · EXPORT

The export link must be evidenced

The DU-E, DAT, export tax invoice, transportation documents, customs facility and point of departure must demonstrate the connection between the service and the international transaction.

05 · TAX DOCUMENT

Consistent CT-e or NFS-e

The document must reflect the actual nature of the service, the route, the service recipient, the tax treatment applied and the information required by the competent tax authority.

06 · BILLING

Validation before billing

Purchased cost, sales price, taxes, surcharges and supporting evidence must be reconciled before invoicing and revenue recognition.

Tectril control: “0% ICMS on exports” must not be applied as a blanket rule. The conclusion depends on current legislation, the nature of the transportation leg and the evidence linking the service to the export.

Where this solution makes a difference

Transfers that require genuine coordination

Export clearance performed at a customs facility different from the point of departure.
Coordination among the customs facility, carrier and departure terminal.
Multiple stakeholders and restricted operating windows.
Sensitive or serialized cargo, or goods subject to special requirements.
Need for an auditable trail through completion.
