- Why is there no rate table for Brazil?
- Because the tariff there moves with the HS code, engine capacity and model year, and publishing a single percentage would be wrong more often than it would be right. Used-vehicle import is not a practical route. New-vehicle programmes are workable but require a local distribution partner and forward planning on the tax layers. Ask for a quote and the figure is worked per unit against the tariff in force.
