The submitted documents must be valid at the time the questionnaire is submitted.

Accounting indicators considered are:
Current Liquidity
General Liquidity

Net Worth
The documents submitted by Brazilian suppliers must be signed by the company’s legal representative and accountant.
Critério técnico
