Natura Cosmeticos Ltda (NIT 830024974) is the Colombian subsidiary of Natura & Co, the largest Brazilian cosmetics and personal care multinational and one of the largest cosmetics groups globally by revenue. Founded in 1969 in São Paulo, Brazil, Natura & Co operates across Latin America, Europe, and increasingly in Asia and Africa. The group's portfolio includes the flagship Natura brand, Avon (acquired in 2020), The Body Shop (sold in 2024), and Aesop (sold in 2023). Natura is well-known for its direct-sales business model (similar to Avon's), where independent consultants sell products directly to end consumers in their communities.
Natura Cosmeticos Ltda Colombia is the Colombian distribution and commercial subsidiary of the Natura & Co group. The company is registered with NIT (Número de Identificación Tributaria) 830024974, which is the tax identification number issued by DIAN (Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales de Colombia) for corporate entities. The headquarters address KR 19 100 45 PS 3 denotes Carrera 19 #100-45, Piso 3 (3rd floor) in Bogotá D.C., Colombia's capital district. The phone number 3268787 is the company's main corporate line.
Natura Cosmeticos Ltda Colombia holds OEA (Operador Económico Autorizado) status — Colombia's Authorized Economic Operator certification under the World Customs Organization SAFE Framework of Standards. The product description on this customs declaration includes the code 'CODIGO RESOLUCION OEA IMPORTADOR OE0496 FECHA 2024 10 30', which indicates that Natura Colombia was granted OEA importer status under resolution code OE0496 on 30 October 2024. OEA certification provides the importer with expedited customs clearance, reduced physical inspections, priority processing lanes, simplified declaration procedures, and mutual recognition benefits with OEA programs in other countries (including the United States CTAT program, EU AEO program, and similar programs in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay).
Industria e Comercio de Cosmeticos Natura Ltda is the Brazilian manufacturing and commercial entity of the Natura & Co group. The company is headquartered and operates its principal manufacturing facility at Rod Dom Gabriel Paulino Bueno Couto (Rodovia Dom Gabriel Paulino Bueno Couto — a state highway in São Paulo state) in the city of Itupeva, São Paulo state, Brazil. Itupeva is approximately 75 km northwest of São Paulo city and is part of the greater São Paulo industrial corridor.
The Itupeva facility is one of Natura's largest manufacturing sites globally, producing a substantial portion of the company's perfumes, fragrances, skin care, hair care, and personal care products for distribution across Latin America. The facility includes: (a) formulation laboratories for fragrance and active ingredient development; (b) high-speed filling lines for perfume bottles, tubes, jars, and pump dispensers; (c) secondary packaging operations for retail-ready display units; (d) warehousing and distribution operations; and (e) quality control laboratories for stability, microbiology, and regulatory compliance testing. Natura's Itupeva facility is ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 22716 (Cosmetic GMP) certified.
Natura Brazil operates its Itupeva facility as an export hub to Natura subsidiaries and distributors across Latin America — including Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Mexico, and other countries. The exporter contact email INFO@NATURA.COM routes to Natura's international trade coordination team, which handles export documentation, customs compliance, and shipment tracking for all outbound shipments from Itupeva to international destinations. The 272.16 kg perfume shipment to Natura Colombia documented in this customs declaration is a typical example of Natura's intra-group export manufacturing flow.
Linea Aerea Carguera de Colombia SA (LAC Colombia) was a Colombian all-cargo airline that operated scheduled and chartered air cargo services from 1971 until its integration into LATAM Cargo Colombia (the cargo division of LATAM Airlines Group). LAC Colombia's principal operational base was at El Dorado International Airport (BOG) in Bogotá, which is the largest cargo airport in Latin America by cargo tonnage. The carrier operated scheduled freight services to and from Brazil (São Paulo GRU, Campinas VCP, and other cities), Argentina (Buenos Aires EZE), Chile (Santiago SCL), Peru (Lima LIM), Ecuador (Quito UIO), Mexico (Mexico City MEX), the United States (Miami MIA), and other destinations.
The Brazil-Colombia air cargo lane is one of the most important intra-LATAM cargo routes, handling perfumes, cosmetics, automotive parts, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and other manufactured goods. The route operates primarily between São Paulo (GRU/VCP) and Bogotá (BOG), with flight times of approximately 6 hours. LAC Colombia / LATAM Cargo Colombia operates frequent services on this lane, typically 4-7 flights per week depending on the season and demand. The 272.16 kg perfume shipment from Itupeva (Brazil) to Bogotá (Colombia) would have been trucked from Itupeva to São Paulo GRU, then flown by LAC Colombia to BOG, where it cleared Colombian customs.
The choice of air cargo (versus sea freight) for this 272.16 kg perfume shipment reflects three considerations: (a) cargo value density — at $95.23/kg CIF value ($27,133.79 ÷ 272.16 kg), the cargo is sufficiently high-value to justify the air freight cost premium over sea freight (sea freight would be $0.50-1.00/kg, but with 25-35 day transit time vs. 1-2 days air cargo); (b) product shelf life — perfumes have shelf lives of 36-60 months, but the company likely needs to refresh Colombian distribution inventory on a monthly cycle to maintain retail availability; (c) retail demand timing — Natura's direct-sales consultants place monthly product orders, requiring predictable monthly inbound shipments from manufacturing in Itupeva.
The commodity classified under HS 3303000000 in this customs declaration is perfumes and toilet waters — a category covering all fragrance products intended for personal use, where fragrant essential oils, aromatic compounds, and fixatives are dissolved in an alcohol base (typically ethanol) or occasionally in an oil/wax base. The category includes: (a) parfum/extrait (20-40% aromatic compounds — the most concentrated); (b) Eau de Parfum (15-20%); (c) Eau de Toilette (5-15%); (d) Eau de Cologne/Cologne (2-5%); and (e) body mists and fragrance sprays. The HS 3303 category excludes essential oils (HS 3301) and mixed odorous substances for industrial use (HS 3302).
Natura's perfume portfolio includes a wide range of fragrance lines under the Natura brand — including the popular Ekos line (featuring native Brazilian botanicals such as Castanha, Andiroba, Açaí, Cumaru, Maracujá, and Patauá), the Tododia line (daily wear fragrances), the Humor line (mood-based fragrances), and various limited-edition and seasonal collections. The 272.16 kg shipment documented in this customs declaration represents an inbound shipment of mixed perfume SKUs from the Itupeva manufacturing facility to Natura Colombia's Bogotá distribution center for redistribution to Colombian direct-sales consultants and retail partners.
The product description field on the customs declaration reads: 'DO 2673630 CODIGO RESOLUCION OEA IMPORTADOR OE0496 FECHA 2024 10 30 PEDIDO TRAMITE 4511759746 DECLARACION(2 2) IMPO'. This is a structured customs code string rather than a natural-language description, and decodes as follows:
HS Chapter 33 covers "Essential oils and resinoids; perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations" — the umbrella chapter for all fragrance, cosmetic, and personal care preparations. The chapter is structured into seven headings:
HS 3303 (Perfumes and toilet waters) is the most relevant subheading for this customs declaration. Colombia uses a 10-digit classification under DIAN, structured as follows:
Colombia is a member of the Andean Community (Comunidad Andina — CAN), along with Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. While Colombia is not a MERCOSUR member, it has a partial free trade agreement with MERCOSUR countries (including Brazil). For Brazilian-origin perfume imports under HS 3303000000, the tariff treatment is typically 0% (duty-free) under the Colombia-MERCOSUR partial trade agreement, provided the importer can present a valid certificate of origin (Form A or electronic equivalent). This explains why Natura Cosmeticos Ltda Colombia imports perfumes from Brazil rather than from non-LATAM suppliers — the preferential tariff treatment combined with intra-company logistics makes Brazil-to-Colombia perfume trade economically efficient.
The OEA — Operador Económico Autorizado program is Colombia's implementation of the World Customs Organization (WCO) SAFE Framework of Standards for Authorized Economic Operators. The program is administered by DIAN (Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales de Colombia) and grants certified importers, exporters, customs brokers, and logistics providers expedited customs processing in exchange for maintaining high levels of supply chain security, internal controls, and financial solvency.
Natura Cosmeticos Ltda Colombia, as an OEA-certified importer (code OE0496, granted 30 October 2024), benefits from:
The OE0496 code on the customs declaration identifies Natura Cosmeticos Ltda Colombia as the 496th OEA authorization issued by DIAN. The 'FECHA 2024 10 30' field indicates that the OEA importer authorization was granted on 30 October 2024 — meaning Natura Colombia had been an OEA-certified importer for approximately 9 months at the time of this 31 July 2026 customs declaration. The OEA certification is valid for 3 years (renewable), with annual compliance audits by DIAN.
The shipment originates at Natura's manufacturing facility in Itupeva, São Paulo state, Brazil. The packaged perfumes are loaded onto a truck at Itupeva for the approximately 75 km road transport to São Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) — Brazil's busiest international cargo airport and the principal LATAM cargo gateway. Total road transport time: 1-2 hours depending on traffic conditions in the São Paulo metropolitan area.
At GRU, the cargo is received by LAC Colombia / LATAM Cargo Colombia, which operates scheduled freighter services between GRU and BOG. Flight time GRU-BOG is approximately 6 hours, typically direct (occasionally with a stop in Lima LIM or Bogotá's secondary cargo terminal). The flight operates at altitude over the Amazon basin, and the cargo is maintained at controlled temperature (15-25°C) and humidity (40-60% RH) appropriate for perfume products, which are sensitive to extreme temperature variations that could affect the alcohol base and aromatic compounds.
At El Dorado International Airport (BOG) in Bogotá, the cargo is received by Natura Cosmeticos Ltda Colombia's customs broker (likely a Natura in-house customs team or a contracted broker). Because Natura Colombia holds OEA status (code OE0496), the customs clearance process is expedited — typically 24-48 hours vs. 5-10 days for non-OEA importers. Once cleared, the cargo is released and delivered to Natura's Bogotá distribution center at KR 19 100 45 PS 3, where it is broken down and redistributed to Natura's Colombian direct-sales consultants and retail partners.
The total door-to-door transit time for this Itupeva-Bogotá air cargo shipment is typically 3-5 days, including: 1 day for trucking + airline acceptance at GRU; 1 day for the GRU-BOG flight; 1-2 days for Colombian customs clearance at BOG (expedited due to OEA status); and 1 day for final delivery and breakdown at the Bogotá distribution center. This is dramatically faster than the 25-35 day transit time that would apply for sea freight between Brazil and Colombia via the Pacific or Caribbean ports.
The customs declaration documents a complete value composition breakdown:
With 272.16 kg shipped and a total FOB value of $25,919.44, the per-kg FOB value is approximately $95.23 per kg. This per-kg FOB value is consistent with mid-tier to premium perfume positioning — above mass-market drugstore perfumes ($30-50/kg) but below designer/luxury perfumes ($300-800/kg). The perfume SKUs in this shipment are likely a mix of Natura's mid-tier fragrance lines (Tododia, Ekos) with possible inclusion of higher-end limited-edition collections, all manufactured at the Itupeva facility.
The $1,203.22 air freight cost for 272.16 kg of cargo translates to approximately $4.42 per kg, which is within the typical range for the Brazil-Colombia air cargo lane (industry benchmark rates typically range from $3.50 to $6.50 per kg depending on carrier, seasonality, fuel surcharges, and consolidation volumes). The freight-to-FOB ratio of 4.64% is also within the typical range for medium-value air cargo on intra-LATAM lanes.
The insurance value of $11.13 USD represents only 0.04% of FOB value ($11.13 ÷ $25,919.44 × 100 = 0.043%). This is significantly lower than the typical 0.5-1.0% insurance rate that applies to third-party cargo insurance for international shipments. The very low rate suggests that Natura & Co maintains self-insurance for intra-company cargo movements — the parent company essentially bears the risk itself rather than paying third-party insurance premiums, which is common for large multinational consumer goods groups with sufficient internal risk-bearing capacity.
Three independent pieces of evidence confirm that this customs declaration documents an intra-company trade transaction between two Natura & Co group entities:
The buyer 'NATURA COSMETICOS LTDA' (Colombia) and the supplier 'INDUSTRIA E COMERCIO DE COSMETICOS NATURA LTDA' (Brazil) share the 'NATURA' corporate root, indicating they are part of the same Natura & Co group. The Brazilian entity is the parent manufacturing arm; the Colombian entity is the distribution subsidiary.
The payment method 'FINANCIACION DIRECTA DEL PROVEEDOR' (direct financing from supplier) is the Colombian customs code for intra-company trade financing, where the parent/supplier entity extends credit to its subsidiary rather than requiring third-party bank financing (such as a Letter of Credit). This is the standard intra-company payment method for multinational groups.
The exporter contact email INFO@NATURA.COM routes to Natura's corporate domain (natura.com), confirming that the Brazilian exporter is the corporate Natura entity (rather than a third-party perfume supplier that would use its own domain). This email is monitored by Natura's international trade coordination team at the Itupeva facility.
Intra-company trade has several implications for customs valuation and tariff treatment: (a) transfer pricing compliance — the FOB value of $25,919.44 must reflect arm's-length transfer pricing in compliance with OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines and Colombian tax regulations; (b) preferential tariff access — under the Colombia-MERCOSUR partial trade agreement, intra-company perfume imports from Brazil qualify for duty-free treatment (the 'Tax: —' field on this declaration confirms duty-free clearance); (c) VAT treatment — Colombia applies 19% VAT on imported goods, but intra-company imports may qualify for deferred VAT payment under certain customs regimes; (d) customs valuation method — the customs value of $25,919.44 FOB should be the transaction value (the price actually paid between the related parties), provided it is consistent with arm's-length pricing.
Brazil is Latin America's largest cosmetics and personal care producer, with annual industry revenue exceeding $30 billion USD and exports of approximately $1.5 billion USD annually. Brazil's cosmetics industry is dominated by Natura & Co (the largest Brazilian cosmetics multinational), Grupo Boticário (the second-largest Brazilian cosmetics group with brands including O Boticário, Eudora, and Quem Disse Berenice), and multinational subsidiaries of L'Oréal, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Avon, and others. The industry's manufacturing is concentrated in São Paulo state, particularly in the greater São Paulo metropolitan area and the inland industrial corridor around Campinas and Itupeva.
Colombia is Latin America's fourth-largest cosmetics market by revenue (after Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina), with annual personal care and cosmetics consumption exceeding $4 billion USD. The Colombian market imports approximately 35-40% of its cosmetics from international suppliers — the largest source countries are Brazil (particularly Natura & Co and other LATAM groups), the United States (L'Oréal USA, Estée Lauder, etc.), France (L'Oréal Paris, Chanel, Dior), Mexico (Grupo Petrofer, others), and increasingly South Korea (K-beauty brands). The Brazil-Colombia cosmetics trade is supported by the Colombia-MERCOSUR partial trade agreement, which provides preferential tariff access for most cosmetics categories including HS 3303 perfumes.
Natura & Co operates an extensive distribution network across Latin America, with subsidiaries in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay, plus distributor partners in additional countries. The Colombian subsidiary Natura Cosmeticos Ltda is one of Natura's most important LATAM markets, with a direct-sales consultant network of approximately 30,000-50,000 active consultants across Colombia. The monthly inbound shipments from Brazil (such as the one documented in this customs declaration) are essential to keeping the Colombian consultant network supplied with product inventory for retail sales. Natura's Bogotá distribution center at KR 19 100 45 PS 3 serves as the central receiving and redistribution hub for all Natura consultant orders across Colombia.

Natura Cosmeticos Ltda is the Colombian subsidiary of Natura & Co, the largest Brazilian cosmetics and personal care multinational. The Colombian entity is registered with NIT (Número de Identificación Tributaria) 830024974, with headquarters at KR 19 100 45 PS 3 in Bogotá D.C. Natura Colombia operates the company's distribution and retail network across Colombia, importing finished perfume and cosmetic products primarily from the parent company's manufacturing facilities in Brazil.
HS 3303000000 is the 10-digit Colombian customs classification for 'Perfumes and toilet waters' under HS Chapter 33 (Essential oils and resinoids; perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations). The 10-digit format 3303000000 is the extended DIAN (Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales de Colombia) classification used in Colombian import declarations. The first 6 digits (330300) align with the international HS code, while the additional 4 digits (0000) indicate the Colombian national subdivision for statistical purposes. This code covers all perfume categories — including extracts (parfum/extrait), Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, and cologne — that contain fragrant compositions in alcoholic or non-alcoholic bases.
Three pieces of evidence confirm this is intra-company trade between Natura Brazil and Natura Colombia: (1) The supplier name 'INDUSTRIA E COMERCIO DE COSMETICOS NATURA LTDA' is the Brazilian parent manufacturing entity of the Natura & Co group; (2) The buyer 'NATURA COSMETICOS LTDA' with NIT 830024974 is the Colombian distribution subsidiary of the same group; (3) The payment method 'FINANCIACION DIRECTA DEL PROVEEDOR' (direct financing from supplier) is a typical intra-company trade term where the parent company provides supplier credit to its subsidiary rather than using a third-party bank letter of credit.
OEA — Operador Económico Autorizado (Authorized Economic Operator) — is a customs facilitation program operated by Colombian customs (DIAN) under the World Customs Organization (WCO) SAFE Framework of Standards. The product description references 'CODIGO RESOLUCION OEA IMPORTADOR OE0496 FECHA 2024 10 30', which indicates that Natura Cosmeticos Ltda holds OEA importer status under resolution code OE0496, granted on 30 October 2024. OEA-authorized importers benefit from expedited customs clearance, reduced physical inspections, priority lane processing, and simplified declaration procedures — making them significantly faster to clear imports than non-OEA importers.
Linea Aerea Carguera de Colombia SA (LAC Colombia) was a Colombian all-cargo airline that operated from 1971 until its merger into LATAM Cargo Colombia (part of LATAM Airlines Group). The carrier handled scheduled and chartered air cargo services between Colombia and other Latin American countries, particularly Brazil. On this customs declaration, the carrier is recorded as the air transportation provider for the 272.16 kg perfume shipment from Itupeva, Brazil to Bogotá, Colombia, with the cargo unloaded at El Dorado International Airport (BOG) in Bogotá.
The customs declaration documents a $1,214.35 difference between CIF ($27,133.79) and FOB ($25,919.44), composed of $1,203.22 freight (4.64% of FOB) and $11.13 insurance (0.04% of FOB). For a 272.16 kg shipment, the per-kg freight rate is approximately $4.42 ($1,203.22 ÷ 272.16 kg), which is within the typical range for air cargo on the Brazil-Colombia lane (industry benchmark: $3.50–6.50/kg). The very low insurance rate of 0.04% reflects both (a) the relatively low insurance claim history for cosmetics air cargo and (b) the intra-company nature of the trade, where the parent company self-insures.
