Import machinery and industrial supplies from China to Brazil
To import machinery or industrial supplies from China into Brazil: import duty is calculated on the CIF value. Import taxes combine several charges (II + IPI + PIS/COFINS + ICMS); confirm the total rate for your tariff code. There is no free trade agreement with China, so the general duty rate for each tariff code applies. Key conformity requirement: NR-12, INMETRO. Machines must be configured for the local grid: 127/220 V, 60 Hz.
