Brazil - Shipping of Test Samples

For Brazil homologations such as Anatel or Inmetro, you have three ways to send samples to the Brazilian laboratory and reduce the risk of being delayed or stuck in Brazilian customs

1- By Courier (FeDex, UPS, etc.)

• Equipament must be new
• Value of goods plus the value of freight must be less than USD 3000
• On the Airway Bill (AWB) include the Test Lab "Tax ID"
• Take care of shipping cost instead of passing on this cost to the Brazilian certification body or test laboratory
• Send AWB to the Brazilian test lab or certification body for review prior to shipment of the samples to Brazil

2- If Brazilian import is for equipment with a value exceeding USD 3000, use the Formal Import process. Ensure that all shipping costs , including taxes are taken care of instead of passing on costs to the Brazilian certification body or test laboratory

The following items will be required by the Brazilian test lab or certification body:

• Company name and full address of the Shipper
• Complete description of equipments sent – in Portuguese
• Value in USD for each test sample (including accessories and support equipment)
• Net weight for each test sample (including accessories and supprt equipment)
• Country of origin for each test sample (including accessories and supprt equipment)
• NCM/Harmonized Code

This information must be send directly to the laboratory or certification body you are dealing with

3- Temporary Admission (DSI), with grants equipment entry into Brazil for a period of 3 months, extended for an additional 3 more months. For details, check with your Brazilian laboratory or cerification body.
