Steps importing Kombi from Brazil
Importing a Kombi from Brazil can be a daunting task due to the various steps and requirements involved. It is important to plan and budget accordingly to avoid potential damages, delays, and costs. Broadly the different steps can be defined as:
- Internal Logistics
- Export documents
- Filling the container
- Shipping
Internal logistics Brazil
Internal logistics in Brazil must be considered when importing a Kombi. Road transport is expensive and can result in damage, making it essential to work with reliable partners and ensure that your vehicle is insured.
Export documents required for importing Kombi
Brazil is a bureaucratic country and this also applies to importing a Kombi. In order to export a Kombi Volkswagen from Brazil it is required to obtain a document that states that the car will not longer exist in Brazil (baixar). There are three steps to follow to secure this document:
- Ownership transfer Kombi to export company
- Inspection (vistoria)
- Vehicle de-registration (baixa permanente do veículo).
All these processes are processed through Detran. It is important to note that these procedures may differ per state, Before importing any Kombi from Brazil it is essential to check the car documents. One error can lead to substantial delays and costs. Often old VW Kombis T1 do not have their motor number registered in the documents which is required in order to retrieve the export documents. This process might take a couple of weeks to complete.
Obtaining a license called RADAR is necessary to export a Kombi from Brazil, and this license is granted by the Brazilian tax authorities. Most Kombi owners will not have this license, making the services of a Brazilian export company necessary for indirect export. In this case, the export company will export the Volkswagen Kombi under its own name, and become the legal owner of the vehicle. This means that the actual purchase of the Kombi must be done by the exporter and not by the buyer of the Kombi outside Brazil.
One advantage of indirect export is that the Brazilian export company will handle all operational and logistical processes in Brazil, including the export documents. This can save time and effort on the part of the buyer, as they can rely on the experience and expertise of the export company to handle the details of the export process.
In summary, importing a Kombi from Brazil involves multiple steps that must be carefully planned and executed. It is important to work with reliable partners, ensure that your vehicle is insured, and obtain the necessary documents and licenses. By taking the time to research and plan ahead, you can minimize potential risks and enjoy the unique experience of owning a Volkswagen Kombi from Brazil.
