Buying a bike in Chile to sell in Brazil
Hello,
I’m planning on travelling with my girlfriend from Chile to Bolivia / Argentina / Uruguay / Brazil from November this year. The plan is to buy a bike in Chile and sell it in Brazil, as we then plan to fly to Columbia. From what I can see it’s quite easy to buy a bike in Chile, but hard to sell a bike in Brazil because of the ridiculous import tax. Does anyone have any experience of this? Maybe it’s easier to sell it in Uruguay, or even Paraguay. Also, would travelling across borders be easier if I bought a UK or US registered bike, rather than a Chilean registered bike?
In addition, we’re trying to do this on a budget so buying a new bike and shipping it home isn’t really possible.
Thanking in advance anyone that could help!
Cheers
Warren
