The new measure converts ANTT\u2019s technical guidelines into immediately applicable legal obligations, with the stated aim of eliminating the contracting of freight services below the regulated amount. <\/h5>\n\n<p><strong>What changes in practice for carriers and shippers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The core feature of the <strong>Provisional Measure is the mandatory use of the CIOT (Transport Operation Identification Code)<\/strong> for all freight operations. The system will now refuse to issue the code if the freight amount is below the minimum floor, thereby preventing the operation in advance at its point of origin. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Key points of attention:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Automated enforcement<\/strong>: the CIOT must now be mandatorily linked to the MDF-e, enabling immediate data cross\u2011checking between ANTT and the Federal Revenue Service.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Strict sanctions for carriers<\/strong>: the accumulation of violations (more than 3 within a 6\u2011month period) may result in the precautionary suspension of the RNTRC for up to 30 days. In cases of serious repeat offenses, the registration may be cancelled, preventing the carrier from operating for up to 2 years. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>High\u2011value fines for contracting parties<\/strong>: for those hiring the service, fines now range from B<strong>RL 1 million to BRL 10 million per irregular operation<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extended liability<\/strong>: penalties now reach the entire chain, including parties that advertise irregular freight offers. The Provisional Measure even contemplates <strong>piercing the corporate veil<\/strong> to reach shareholders in cases of structured abuse <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Compliance and legal certainty<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Provisional Measure 1,343\/2026 indicates that enforcement has shifted from being predominantly road\u2011based to becoming digital and systemic. For companies in the sector, revisiting their contracts and promptly adapting their electronic invoicing and document\u2011issuance systems is essential to avoid financial losses and potential disruption of operations. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpdma.com.br\/en\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">We are available to provide advisory services on the compliance of your transport operations in light of ANTT\u2019s new requirements.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On March 19, 2026, the Federal Government enacted Provisional Measure No. 1,343\/2026, introducing far\u2011reaching changes to the oversight and enforcement of the Minimum Freight Floor in Brazil.
