Also contrary to the freight tariff, the Federation of Agriculture and Livestock of Mato Grosso (Famato) argues that the table should be used only as a reference and not in a taxation. Currently, anyone who fails to meet the table may face fines.
According to Famato, the penalties are another intervention of the state, which interferes directly in the market. Resolution No. 5,833 constitutes violations and fines to contractors of road transport services. In view of this, the entity alerts rural producers to be aware of the new rules that have been in force since the date of publication (09/11).
According to the new measure, the contractor who contracts the road transport service of cargo below the minimum floor established by ANTT will be fined twice the difference between the amount paid and the floor due on the basis of the Resolution, limited to minimum of R $ 550.00 and a maximum of R $ 10,500.00.
In addition, the carrier that carries out the service of trucking of cargo at a value lower than the minimum freight floor defined by ANTT shall be fined R $ 550.00 (five hundred and fifty reais).
Those responsible for announcements of offers for contracting road transport of cargo at a value lower than the minimum freight floor defined by ANTT will be assessed at R $ 4,975.00. The contractors, transporters, advertisers or other agents in the market who prevent, obstruct or in any way obstruct access to the information and documents requested by the inspection to verify the regularity of the payment of the freight amount the fine is R $ 5,000.00.
