Two pallets of Zotac GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards, valued at approximately R$ 2.5 million at cost, have disappeared within the premises of São Paulo International Airport in Guarulhos. The report comes from Grupo Oderço, a technology distributor based in Maringá, Paraná.
According to company president Oderço Matos, the shipment arrived at the airport and was later no longer located. In a video and social media posts, Matos stated that in more than 38 years of operation the company had never lost an imported cargo and that it has not received conclusive answers about the whereabouts of the equipment.
Reports indicate the goods arrived in Brazil in September, went through DTA (Customs Transit Declaration) processes and were released by the Federal Revenue Service, but the pallets were not made available to the distributor. On October 14, the airport reportedly informed that it could not find the cargo.
Airport position
In a statement, GRU Airport said that since becoming aware of the incident, it has been making efforts to resolve it. The non-location of the cargo was formally reported to the competent authorities. The concessionaire stated it maintains contact with the importer's representative and is awaiting documentation for analysis of an indemnification process.
There is no official confirmation of theft or detailed circumstances. The exact number of cards has not been disclosed, but two pallets of RTX 5090 represent a significant volume, especially at a time of global scarcity of the model.
Scarcity context
The RTX 5090 is NVIDIA's top-of-the-line GeForce card, with 32 GB of GDDR7, widely used in high-performance PCs and artificial intelligence workloads. In Brazil, Zotac models are listed between R$ 33,000 and R$ 39,000 at retail. The disappearance occurs in a period when global availability of the product is already limited.
