Brazil import Rules

Importation of used vehicles is banned, as is import of diesel passenger vehicles. Imported vehicles must meet Euro 4 standards. Import of engines is also banned. Cars, motorcycles, scooters, bicycles with engines, trailers and other motor vehicles cannot be brought in as a personal baggage either. If you bring in a new vehicle it is not exempt but you must pay the full duty.

Brazil Import Tariffs

Some of this information may be dated so please let us know if any of this has changed at thai4x4@gmail.com. Tariffs:

The tariff applied to cars ranges from 22.5-35 percent (most at 35 percent).
The tariff applied to trucks ranges from 14-35 percent (most at 35 percent).
The tariff for auto parts (HTS 8707-08) ranges from 14-20.5 percent.
Auto manufacturers with plants in Brazil that are under the Brazilian Automotive Program import at reduced tariff rates, 24.5 percent for passenger vehicles and 22.5 percent for commercial vehicles.
In December 1999, Brazil ended the import quota system, which allowed automobile manufacturers and some independent importers to import 50,000 automobiles per year at a reduced tariff (23% in 1999).
Import Taxes for trading within the Mercosul region are not subject to import tariff.
Automobile and part manufacturers established in Brazil that benefited fromimport tariff reductions granted by the automotive program that expired in 1999, continue to enjoy a 40% reduction on the import tariff rate on imports of automotive parts.
Mercosul-made products enjoy exemption of import tariffs when, 60% of the product’s sales value are generated in the Mercosul region. The new automobile plants are required to reach 40% Mercosul content in the first year of production, 50% in the second year and 60% after the third year.

Taxes:

Import taxes: Import taxes are charged on the CIF value of the good. Vehicles: 35% Automotive parts: 14%; 16% and 18% (levels to be reached by 2006). The current import tariff on automobiles is 35%. Import tariffs on auto parts range from 17% to 23%.
IPI: • The IPI (Industrial Product Tax) is a federal tax applicable to imported and locally manufactured products and varies according to the product. The IPI for auto parts ranges from 4 to 16 percent and for automobiles ranges from 5 to 25 percent. For example:

Vehicle category/ engine displacement	Current Tax rate
Automobiles up to 1000 cc	10
10 Automobiles up to 100 HP	25
Automobiles of up 127 HP	25
Automobiles of over 127 HP	25
Light commercials 4X4 (pick ups)	10
Diesel light commercials 4X2	10

The IPI is charged on the CIF price plus the import duty. It is not a cost item per se, because the paid value represents a credit to the importer. When the product is sold to the end-user, the importer debits the IPI, which is included in the final price of the product and is paid for by the end-user.
ICMS:
The ICMS (Merchandise Circulation Tax) is a state tax, which varies according to the state, but ranges from 17-25 percent. The most common ICMS in the state of Sao Paulo is 18 percent and is charged on the CIF price plus the IPI. The ICMS is also assessed on locally made goods.

Although importers must pay the ICMS to clear customs, it is not an actual cost item per se, because -- similar to the IPI tax -- the paid value represents a credit to the importer. When the merchandise is sold to the end-user, the importer debits the ICMS, which is included in the final prices and is paid by the end-user.
PIS/CONFINS: Contribution of 8.26 percent.
Port Taxes and Costs: Compulsory Contribution to Custom Broker’s Union2% of CIF, or minimum of US$140, maximum of US$280 Customs Broker Average US$700 Terminal Handling Charges Up to US$400 per container Merchant Marine Tax 25% of ocean freight Warehousing and Foremanship 0.65% of CIF Port and warehousing fees: vary according to the port or airport and on the period of time required to release imports from customs. These fees usually add up to 2 to 4% of the CIF price. Smaller ports outside Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are usually less expensive than the ones in those states.
Licensing: An import license is required for imports of most vehicles and some auto parts. Import licenses are issued by the Brazilian Foreign Trade Secretariat (SECEX) and take approximately two weeks to obtain. They are valid for 60 days.
Import Restrictions:•
Imports of used automobiles into Brazil are not allowed under any circumstances, and special authorization is required for the import of used parts.

Brazil also has a ban on diesel passenger car imports, but still exports diesel cars to Argentina. Argentina is also currently considering a similar ban on imports and production of diesel passenger cars. There is a possibility this ban will be extended to the entire MERCOSUR region; however, this has yet to be determined under the CAP negotiations.

Exporting from Asia can be tricky as auto exporters and car exporters are dime a dozen. The stereotype of used car salesman is universal and based on some truth. With the advent of Internet the crooks have come out of the woodworks to separate the innocent from their money, Thailand is no exception. Caveat emptor - buyer beware - maxim has been heeded by businessmen since the time of the Ancients but it is most relevant when all it takes is a DSL modem, a nerdy kit with some HTML skills to put together a website, some Images (Pics) taken at your competitor's lots and you are in business. We have seen a parade of newbie auto exporters come in, offer great deals for a year or so perpetrating an elaborate Ponzi scheme and then disappear with millions of dollars of their customers very hard earned money. Will you trust a company that has been in business for 1 year or one that has been in business for 97 years and is well respected not only all over Asia but also beyond Asian boundaries. If someone offers you a deal that sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Not all new entrants are crooks but there are some who in their quest for the fast buck wants to cut corners at the expense of the customer. When you work with Sam you have the peace of mind to know that we have been voted Thailand's most trusted dealership and Thailand's most trusted auto exporter five years in a row and it is for this reason that we have over 80% of the auto exporting market share in Thailand.
