Abstract

One of the great challenges of the Amazon is trying to reduce the transaction costs incurred by companies when they go to market demand customs services, that because this type of activity produces significant impact on the competitiveness of the products of PIM. Thus, this study aims to identify and understand the institutional reasons that do not promote celerity in attendance the demands for customs services and tax services within the economy of Manaus. The basic hypothesis states that the factor related to bureaucracy overlaps the infrastructural. Specifically, we intend to: a) Identify the main factors that influence the time of clearance of goods at the airport system; b) Identify the main factors that influence the time of clearance of goods at the port system. The conceptual framework of this study is based on the concepts of Transaction Costs, Institutions and Economic Growth, emphasizing that "there are costs in addition to the directly involved with the production, which influence the formation of the total cost of the product, such as excessive tax burden, processes bureaucratic corruption, gaps in infrastructure, among others "ESPINO (1999). The method known as Factorial Analysis was used to summarize the variable taken to account for the time required for clearance of goods, grouping them into factors. We conclude that the factors that influence this time in the airport system are the care provided by servers and bureaucracy of the intervening agencies. On the other hand, at the port system, refuting the hypothesis of this work, the infrastructure put up more as a factor influencing the time needed for implementation of customs services.
