  • Economy: 8-12 DAYS working

📍 Indicative examples

  • Milan → São Paulo: 3-4 days (express)
  • Rome → Rio de Janeiro: 4-5 days (express) 

⚠️ Brazil's Receita Federal may detain shipments for customs inspection, especially if documentation is incomplete or the declared value appears inconsistent. Always add 3-7 days as a margin for possible inspections. Shipments to the Northeast and remote areas (Amazon, Pantanal) require additional time for final delivery.

📄 Documents and customs for shipping in Brazil

Brazil is non-EU with one of the most complex customs in the Americas (Receita Federal). Obligatory documents: 

  • commercial invoice or proforma in English or Portuguese 
  • detailed description of the goods 
  • free export declaration 
  • CPF of consignee (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas) - Brazilian tax code, required for customs clearance 
  • CNPJ for corporate shipments 

Brazilian duties and ICMS

Brazil applies a complex tariff structure: 

  • Imposto de Importação (II)variable customs duty per category, can go up to 60%+ 
  • ICMS (state tax): varies by state, generally 12-18% 
  • IOF, PIS, COFINSother applicable taxes 

De minimis threshold: shipments between private individuals of a value up to 50 USD (approx. €46) are duty-free. Above this threshold, all taxes apply. For commercial shipments the threshold is practically zero. 

📋 What is the TARIC code and how to find it

⚠️ CPF of recipient - mandatory

The CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas) is the Brazilian tax number — mandatory for customs clearance in Brazil. Without the recipient's CPF the shipment is blocked. Always ask the recipient before booking. 

Prohibited or restricted products 

🚫 Narcotics, weapons, pornographic material, embargoed products, fresh food without MAPA (Ministério da Agricultura) health certification. 

💡 Always use precise descriptions in English or Portuguese. “Men's cotton shirt - 2 pieces - value 60€ - made in Italy” instead of “clothes” or “gift”.
