Customs Regimes

Brazil's Customs Regimes for Ship Spare Parts

The right regime keeps duties, delays and bond exposure under control. We pick it before the parts move.

Regime	What it is	When we use it
DTADeclaração de Trânsito Aduaneiro	Moves cargo under customs bond between customs zones, before final clearance.	To carry spares from the point of entry to the port where the vessel is.
DIDeclaração de Importação	Definitive import. Duties are paid and the goods are nationalised.	When the parts stay in Brazil, or a standard import is the right call.
Temporary AdmissionAdmissão Temporária	Import with duties suspended for goods that will be re-exported.	Tools and equipment that come in to do a job and go back out.
Bonded WarehouseEntreposto Aduaneiro	Storage under customs control, with no duties due while the goods sit.	Holding spares that land before the vessel arrives.

Clearance Channels

Green, Yellow, Red, Grey

Every import gets a channel at customs. It decides how much inspection your shipment gets, and how long it takes.

Green

Cleared on submission, no inspection. The fast lane, and where good paperwork gets you.

Yellow

Documents reviewed by customs before the goods are released.

Red

Documents plus a physical inspection of the cargo.

Grey

Special inspection over valuation or suspicion. The slow one. We work to avoid it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Spare Parts Clearance in Brazil, Answered

Do I need a Brazilian CNPJ to clear spare parts for my vessel?

No. As your agent we clear the spares under our own CNPJ against the vessel's documentation, so you don't need a local entity. The parts come in consigned to us and we deliver them onboard.

What is the typical clearance timeline for urgent air-freight spare parts?

With documents in order and a green channel, urgent air-freight spares can clear within a day or two of landing. Yellow or red adds time for review or inspection. We pre-file what we can so the clock starts early.

Can I still use an ATA Carnet to send spare parts to Brazil?

Brazil's ATA Carnet coverage is limited and generally not used for ship spares. For parts that come in and go back out, we use Temporary Admission (Admissão Temporária), which suspends duties for the time the goods stay in the country.

What happens if spare parts arrive before the vessel?

We hold them in a bonded warehouse under customs control, with no duties due, until the vessel arrives. Then we clear and deliver to the gangway on schedule.

What are the requirements for delivering goods onboard at a Brazilian port?

Onboard delivery means working within the terminal's and port authority's access rules, with the right vessel and cargo documentation. We arrange the access and the bonded delivery so the parts reach the deck without a compliance snag.
