Brazil is the fifth largest country in terms of population and area. It is located in South America and has over 7,000 km of coastline on the Atlantic Ocean. Geographically, Brazil shares its borders with all countries except Chile and Ecuador. With strong global trade and diplomatic relations with the USA, shipping your motorcycle to Brazil from the USA is convenient, as there are plenty of ports all along the large coastline.
Vehicle Import Regulations
To ensure a hassle-free import process, it becomes important to be guided and assisted in a quick Customs clearance and other legal formalities that have to be done before you can get the motorcycle delivered in Brazil. Working with our company, A-1 Auto Transport Service, is an asset as we have been delivering vehicles in South America for over two decades and have experience shipping vehicles globally.
With a strong network of shopping agents worldwide, we can walk you through the process even before you start preparing for the shipment. Our carrying agents stay updated on the current laws, regulations, import duties, and taxes, which will help you get an accurate quote.
It is important to get all documents related to motorcycle ownership in order, as both the U.S. Customs and Brazilian Customs Authority need them to validate the import. Everything has to be submitted, from your driver's license to your motorcycle's title and registration documents.
Need for Safe Hauling
Without proper paperwork, the importation of a vehicle is refused; thus, getting it done quickly is crucial. So do not worry. We will help you every step of the way and ensure everything gets turned in on time. They have a strict air quality control policy, so make sure your motorcycle or other vehicle imports pass the emissions tests. Motorcycles of any age may be brought in for importation. Hence, you might bring in a brand-new motorcycle or an antique beauty.
However, for legal imports, customs in both the USA and Brazil require a set of documents proving the vehicle's ownership and validity. Some of the paperwork that you need to submit includes:
- Owners passport
- Certificate of Safety and Emissions Test clearance
- Motorcycle title deed
- Original purchase invoice with VIN
- Import permit
- Written approval from the Environmental Affairs Department
You must be at the port to receive the motorcycle. One of our shipping agents will be with you to guide you through the procedures and help you get the motorcycle delivered in Brazil. We understand the regulations of the Ministry of Transport in Brazil.
Transport Methods
Most of the motorcycles, especially the vintage ones, are crated before they are shipped to prevent dings and dents. However, if you are on a stringent budget, you can opt for RORO, where the motorcycle is secured on the deck with many other vehicles. The tires are immobilized in the metal plates, and the rest are harnessed. The 1/4th fuel in the tank or a little less than that is needed to drive it up and down the ramps. If you need more security when it is shipped, container shipping is the apt decision. You can ship it along with other vehicles in a large container or hire your own and ship it. The shared container is the cheaper option. We can help you with all moving requirements.
