Diplomatic Shipment to Brazil (HHG-PE) - Exclusive Customs clearance process

Diplomatic visa holders have special treatment when bringing HHG-PE to Brazil.

They enjoy exclusive privileges acquired in international treaties and have particular benefits, as you can see below:

- Only diplomatic visa holders can bring vehicles (cars);
- Customs clearance process for diplomati
c shipments is way faster than others;
- Diplomatic shipment container is never opened, not even during the physical inspection.

One important thing we must keep in mind regards to the documentation. Although many of documents demanded by Customs seem similiar to other visas, some of the diplomatic documents must be sent to the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and it can take some time to be prepared. One of them is filled in with information declared on the OBL which is issued after the departure of the vessel. The Customs clearance process initiates only after presentation of all the documents, that's why this documentation issue must be very well managed in order to avoid delays and even higher port charges.

Be sure to choose a good partner in Brazil to handle your diplomatic shipments.

Note: This is valid only for foreigners! Brazilian citizens with diplomatic status overseas have not the same treatment. When coming to Brazil they are considered as Brazilian citizen return, the Customs clearance is different of the diplomatic one. Remember that.

If you need any assistance, I can provide you a consulting about this type of process.
