CADE recommends closing Embraport port-fee probe
( October 28, 2026, 15:49 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex summary: Brazil's competition authority Superintendence recommended closing a probe into Embraport Empresa Brasileira de Terminais Portuários S.A. over its collection of so-called SSE/THC2 fees from customs warehouse operators at the Port of Santos. The decision was published in Brazil's Official Journal on Wednesday. The Superintendence concluded that in light of recent regulatory and court decisions, the segregation and delivery of containers constitutes a distinct service that may be charged separately by port operators, and therefore found no antitrust violation in Embraport's conduct.See Official Journal publication and attached report....
