# Brazilian ANTT Suspends Underpriced Freight Companies

The Brazilian National Land Transport Agency (ANTT) has initiated enforcement actions targeting freight companies that offer transportation services below the legally mandated minimum freight rates. These measures focus on repeat offenders with multiple violations and include penalties such as suspension or cancellation of the National Registry of Road Cargo Transporters (RNTRC) registration, fines up to R$ 1 million, and system-level blocks through the CIOT code to prevent underpriced freight contracts. This enforcement impacts freight contractors and transport service providers operating nationwide, particularly in São Paulo state.

- **Why this matters:** Freight contractors must ensure compliance with minimum rate regulations to avoid suspension or cancellation of RNTRC registration and significant fines.
- The use of CIOT code blockages indicates increased regulatory scrutiny and automated enforcement mechanisms affecting contract eligibility.
- Companies providing freight services should review pricing strategies and contract terms to align with ANTT requirements and maintain operational status.
- Procurement professionals should anticipate stricter compliance verification and potential disruptions in freight service availability due to enforcement actions.
