Hi!
This is a kind of specialized word.
There's a document called RADAR in Brazil that you have to get if you want to become an importer.
Anyone knows what does it stand for?
Thanks!

Oi, Raf.
Conheço por: RADAR (Rastreamento da Atuação dos Intervenientes Aduaneiros).
É assim que se descreve na Receita Federal.

Muito obrigado !! It doesn't matter that the letters are not an acronym of the title?

Oi, Raf.
I don't think it is an acronym at all. It is just a fancy name they gave to the system (trying to say that the import / export business would be working under "RADAR" suveillance).
If there is any other explanation, I am unaware of it.
Checked again in the site of Secretaria da Receita Federal, and all I get is the following definition:

​

RADAR (Registro e Rastreamento da Atuação dos Intervenientes Aduaneiros)
So, that must be it.
