**Direct answer:** Exports remain relieved from IBS/CBS with retention of credits under the legal conditions. The agribusiness exporter’s challenge is not only zero tax at exit: it is proving export, forming the correct credit balance and financing the interval between purchases, shipment, bookkeeping and recovery.

## Practical framework

Stage
Risk

Input purchase
cash paid before credit realization

Storage
invoice does not reconcile with stock

Sale through trading company
domestic sale confused with direct export

Shipment
invoice, DU-E, quantity or NCM divergence

Direct producers, cooperatives, grain dealers and trading companies occupy different positions. An economically export-oriented sale is not automatically a direct export by the domestic seller. Build a file with contract, XML, classification, Siscomex records, DU-E, transport, shipment, foreign exchange, stock and ledger.

Model the average credit-realization period and working-capital requirement. Do not assume immediate cash recovery without checking procedure and validation.

## When professional review matters

Use an accountant to validate status, bookkeeping, documents, credits and systems. Add legal counsel when contracts, related entities, cooperatives, exports, integrations or disputed classifications can change liability.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do exports pay IBS/CBS?

They are relieved under constitutional and statutory conditions, with proof required.

### Are input credits lost?

Generally no, provided retention and documentation rules are met.

### Is every sale to a trading company an export?

No. The legal flow and conditions determine treatment.

### Does accumulated credit become cash immediately?

Not necessarily; procedure and review time affect liquidity.
