Brazil import rules (30+ year-old collector cars)

Brazil bans used-vehicle imports, except vehicles with 30+ years since manufacture imported “para fins culturais e de coleção” (Portaria SECEX 249/2023, art. 35 §1º IV). Parts for their restoration are also allowed.
Requires a non-automatic Import License (LI) in Siscomex stating the collection purpose and year of manufacture; payment to the US seller via a Brazilian foreign-exchange contract; a licensed customs broker.
To register/plate (placa preta) the car: CVCOL originality certificate, membership in a SENATRAN-recognized collector club, CAT code from SENATRAN (CONTRAN 957/2022). Heavily modified cars may fail originality.
Not tax-free. II 35% of CIF; IPI (3.15% in FlatOut's model; older guidance 25%); PIS 2.62%; COFINS 12.57%; ICMS ~17–18% computed “por dentro”; AFRMM 8% of ocean freight. FlatOut's example: a US$10k car lands at ≈US$27.5k. The only proposed exemption (pending bill) is for returning diplomats, not collectors.
CBS/IBS tax reform is phasing in from 2026 — confirm current rates with your broker before buying.
