INTERNATIONAL HOUSEHOLD MOVES

SHIPPING OF HOUSEHOLD GOODS OVERSEAS:

Each country has its own specific legislation. Do not proceed with your move without first contracting a serious and experienced company, who can inform you of what can and cannot be transported as household goods. In Brazil, FINK is the most experienced and prepared company in Brazil, with agents anywhere in the world.

RECEIVING HOUSEHOLD MOVES IN BRAZIL:

PERSONAL BELONGINGS

You are permitted to import an air shipment and a sea shipment containing furniture, household articles, machines, tools and other items, provided they are used. Immigrants holding a temporary visa or permanent visa holders and returning Brazilians (who have been abroad for over a year) must present specific documents in order to receive their personal belongings and household goods.

We recommend that you check which documents are required for the delivery of your belongings, even before their departure from the origin country. Automobiles, motorcycles and motor boats (as well as boat engines) are not included in this rule. * Used cars and motorcycles are forbidden. Firearms need to be declared at entry in order to obtain the necessary license from the Army.
