Weltcore is a São Paulo-based foreign trade consultancy that combines supplier sourcing, import structuring and freight under one contract. Founded in 2021 by three partners with more than 15 years each in Brazilian foreign trade, the firm runs two directions: helping Brazilian companies import from China, Europe and the United States, and helping international buyers source Brazilian products. Its English-language sourcing service covers supplier identification and qualification, sampling, negotiation, door-to-door logistics and export documentation, including ANVISA and INMETRO requirements for regulated goods.

Weltcore is a young São Paulo firm built by three partners who spent their careers inside Brazilian import operations: Felipe Araki, Bruno Dalla and Daniel Carvalho. The company describes itself as an import advisory rather than a trading house, and the distinction is visible in how it works. The operation can be structured in the client's own CNPJ, which means the buyer keeps the Siscomex record, the tax credits and full sight of what the factory charged, instead of receiving a single marked-up landed price. For buyers sourcing Brazilian products, the relevant service is the English-language sourcing route: identify and qualify suppliers, shortlist five to ten candidates, arrange virtual visits and samples, negotiate price and payment terms with contracts in English, coordinate lab testing and phytosanitary certificates, then handle export documentation and door-to-door freight. That combination matters in Brazil because the hard part is rarely finding a producer. It is ANVISA and INMETRO compliance, the documentation, and the tax treatment of the import, all of which sit outside a classic sourcing agent's remit. Our take: Weltcore suits companies importing at a scale where tax and freight structure change the landed cost, roughly from the R$50,000 monthly revenue threshold the firm itself names. It publishes aggregate experience figures (500+ operations, R$1 billion moved across the partners' careers) rather than client references, so ask for two references in your product category. Its stated strength is food and beverage, vehicles and consumer goods through sub-brands Weltcore Food & Beverage and Weltcore Motors.
Weltcore quotes per operation after a diagnosis and does not publish a rate card. Import advisory, sourcing and freight are scoped together, and the client pays the supplier and the carriers directly where the operation runs in the client's own CNPJ. Ask for the fee split between sourcing, customs brokerage and freight before approving, because bundling makes the sourcing component hard to compare with commission-based agents.
Weltcore sources Brazilian products for buyers abroad: supplier identification and qualification, a shortlist of pre-qualified producers, virtual factory visits and samples, negotiation with contracts in English, quality control and lab testing coordination, export documentation including ANVISA and INMETRO where relevant, and door-to-door freight.
There is no published rate card. Fees are quoted per operation after a diagnosis call that covers product, volume, destination and tax structure. Sourcing, customs and freight are usually scoped as one engagement, so ask explicitly how much of the quote is the sourcing service versus freight and brokerage.
No. It presents itself as an import advisory and states that operations can be structured in the client's own CNPJ, so the buyer remains the importer of record and keeps visibility of factory cost, taxes and the Siscomex record. A trading company would buy and resell the goods at its own price.
Companies below roughly R$50,000 in monthly revenue, and buyers looking for a pure commission agent who only searches factories. The firm's value sits in combining sourcing with tax regime, documentation and freight, which only pays off once order values and regularity are meaningful.
