Which Brazilian ports do freight forwarders use?

Santos is by far the largest port in Brazil and the Southern Hemisphere, followed by Paranaguá, Itajaí/Navegantes, and Rio de Janeiro. Air cargo moves primarily through São Paulo/Guarulhos (GRU) and Viracopos (VCP) in Campinas.

What is a despachante and do I need one in Brazil?

A despachante aduaneiro is a licensed customs broker who files declarations through Brazil’s Siscomex / Portal Único de Comércio Exterior, manages RADAR licensing, taxes, and any regulatory approvals. Brazilian customs is complex, so most importers use one — many forwarders on CargoLinked provide despachante services.
