Brazil reintroduces TIPs for travellers' vehicles
As I expected. Brasil safe haven is no longer.
Message from a friend who crossed into Brasil from Uruguay yesterday.

"My knowledge was, that Brasil doesn't register the car. This has CHANGED at least at the border of CHUY we have passed today. They said that since "this year" the law changed back to registration of cars. The Immigration asked for the car datas when they registered the personal datas in the computer. The Receita Ferderal (Customs) registered all details of the car in the computer and gave us a signed form sheet, which has to be presented, when leaving the country."

BUGGER!!!!!!!! But HAD to happen as the previous system just didn't make any sense at all.

Our plan was to cross from Cusco into Brasil in a couple of weeks and head to Brasilia where a friend had offered us a free parking spot in his back yard. Guess we will still go there but then head down to Uruguay where we can leave the truck for up to a year. Only an extra 3500km over what I was planning - but guess that since we rarely plan anything, it is easy to change. Was just about to book plane tickets from Brasilia so the timing of this bad news was perfect.

Thanks for the information.

Would you consider changing the title of your thread to something along the lines of "Brazil again requiring temporary importation at borders," or "Changes in temporary import procedures, Brazil"....?

That would help spread the word to anyone interested, if that's your aim. If not, leave it as it is.

Are we assuming this includes bikes too?
Since it's new regs perhaps there is a way to get a waiver in order to leave your vehicle there for extended period?

Some countries offer a bonded facility or have some means where you can do this as long as you get paperwork to allow it. Worth a question perhaps?

Brazil is in real economic trouble ATM. Changes be a comin'!

Mark, I don't think I can change the title, just the body, so if you want to, feel free to change it to "Brazil reintroduces TIPs for travellers' vehicles" or similar.

Since had confirmation from two other recent visitors to Brazil that they were issued with TIPs at southern borders with 90 day validity, possibly extendable by 90 days

The TIP waiver was just in response to the wave of vehicles expected from Chile and Argentina for the World Cup and maybe they didn't revert earlier was because they thought they might get a similar invasion for the upcoming Olympics. They are waiving visas for the Olympic period instead.

Thanks. Lots of planning hinged on the absence of TIP at Brazil borders--buying, selling, long-term storage....

I duplicated your thread and re-named the new one. Hope that worked.

Mark

Edit to add: ok, I see you arrived at the same place. Lemme tidy up a bit...

We are crossing from Peru into Brazil in a couple of weeks so I guess if that border is also issuing TIPs we can take it as universal.
Yes Mark, I wouldn't be the only one to be planning on taking advantage of the apparent loophole even though I was always skeptical that it was a real loophole. Wonder what happens if anyone has left their vehicle there thinking they could come back in a couple of years and just drive out. Might have to do it at the falls since they don't seem to care too much.

I wonder how consistent this will be, procedures before were also never the same, every bordercrossing was different, at some you got a TIP, at others they did not know what you were talking about. Police never asked about it as they did\do not know that it is different than for Mercosul vehicles which do not require a TIP.
