Customs clearance in Brazil: how to proceed when bring in video and photo equipments.
If you intend to shoot in Brazil and plan to bring in your own equipment here, be aware of these recommendations below and know that since Jan 2022, Brazil is no longer a signatory to the ATA Carnet as an acceptable document at customs.
Registering your equipment before travelling to Brazil
To avoid any headaches when entering Brazil, it is very important to register in advance all of your video and electronic equipments through the link: EDBV - Traveller’s Electronic Declaration of Goods. This form is hosted on the website of Receita Federal do Brazil (Brazilian Federal Revenue), the equivalent to the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) from the United States.
The procedure is free and can be done by anyone, we can also help you with this. Recently the E-DBV form page has been updated with English and Spanish versions, which makes it easier for travelers to get the register.
Entering in Brazil
After registering the equipment on the website mentioned before, all you need to do is print out the form and present it at Brazilian customs when you land at any international airport in Brazil. Look for the sign "Goods to declare" and present the equipment with the form. Brazilian agents will check that all the gear brought in is correctly listed on the form. If everything is okay, you will receive a stamp on your E-DBV form.
Leaving Brazil
The same stamped entry form must be presented when leaving Brazil, where customs agents will verify if the same equipment brought in is leaving the country.
Do you have any questions about Brazilian Customs or need someone to help you with it? Rest assured, we are experienced in solving these procedure.
