Customs, Prohibitions and Restrictions

• It is recommended you use the Commodity Code (Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System ('HS' code)) when declaring your goods. This will ensure your goods attract the correct Duties.
• The use of the receiving company’s CNPJ number, which is their Tax I.D., will assist in expediting the customs process.
• The Federal Revenue Department of Brazil requires the Taxpayer Identification Number (CPF) and a local telephone number on all shipments. If customers are registered on the Correios platform "Minhas Importações", they will receive a message asking them to add their CPF or they can see where this is required and add this via their tracking website. Items that do not contain the appropriate CPF may be subject to return.
