also treated as industrialized product.In order to contribute with the foreign trade study the National Institute of High Studies (INAE) recommends the need of comprising three critical matters:a) To know the structure of global demand and the position of Brazil;b) To define the concept of manufactured in the statistics of Government foreign trade and the goal to be reached vis-a-vis of global demand;c) To identify the external barriers via protectionism, with global crisis or not, and internal barriers to the production and exportation to be overcome.In the next topics it shall be presented the scenario of the Brazilian manufacturing sector, including applied volumes and figures, as well as other relevant factors such as barriers to the expansion of its exportation and the presentation of the mechanism when performing the exportation of products using maritime transportation (which is the focus of this work).2.1 Global demand overviewIn the year 2008, the global trades increased about 15%, where 60% of this percentage was concentrated in developed countries. Latin America has participated with 5.4% and Mercosul with only 1.7% of exportations. Regarding the sector distribution of the global exportations of the year of 2007, the latest statistic information available, prevail the products of higher aggregated value - machines, telecommunication equipment, transport, etc. with a participation of 35.5% of the value. The Brazilian sales, however, represent only 0.7%.According to the Ministry of Development, Industry and Commerce (MDIC) in 2008, 36.9% of the exportation value was referent to basic products food and raw material in natura -, and 60.7% was referent to industrialized products. From this total, 46.8% were manufactured, including machines and equipment and consumer goods.Besides the relevant contribution of manufactured products for the Brazilian economy, there are several problems providing the representativity of only 0.7% of the total amount of manufactured exported worldwide. One example to mention is the case of barriers imposed to the exportation chain, which may occur externally and internally. Regarding external barriers, it shall be highlighted: requirements of technical standardization and of technology nature, restrictions of environment nature, sanitary Standards and fitosanitary standards, voluntary agreements, genetic modifications direct subsidies to production via special financings, price or purchase warranties, fusions of companies or intercompany agreements, etc. Regarding internal barriers, we can say those are resultant from a deformed vision regarding the importance of foreign trade of goods and services for the sustaining of economic growth, as a factor for the increase of job offers, induction of investments and motivation for the incorporation of new technologies. Upon the presence of this barriers, it is required a facilitating policy of the exportation mechanisms comprising the costs, routes and agents involved in the best possible manner.2.2 Mechanism for the performance of maritime transportation in case of exportationWhen deciding to export, the company shall observe the stages of the process, aiming at knowing its client market, its demands, habits and characteristics. It shall also define other points: the good transport mode, proper packing of the product in order to maintain its integrity, freight form to be adopted in the negotiation, as well as the company to perform
