From Liezen, Austria to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - May, 2006

As i asked the price in Austria they told me 450,- US, than they called me again because it was a wooden box and it haves to be gased before leaving to Brasil so that no animals in the wood could stay alive! That rased the price to 650,-US. What was still fine to me and they said that everything is included in the price!

In Rio everything was different and i had to pay a lot again to the Company of DHL to get my papers to release the bike out of the harbour and no one was there from Danzas (DHL) to help, so i had to take an other agency who asked me an other 235,-US after barganing!
His name is

Sylvio
Sacadura Cabral 81
Sala 401

he was not the best, but he will be better now.
After 6 days (including the weekend) and a lot of extracosts who depends as well on the price of the shippment you payed in Europe (25% again will be the Tax and there is the costs in the harbour and an other 4,-US for something) and on my shippingpapers only where written 220,-US, because the rest was for the truck up to Germany and to gas the wooden case!
Anywhere if you ship to Brasil you will have a lot of troubles because you do not have a CPF code (taxnumber)
in Brasil and without that there computer systhem does not work! Everytime you need the big boss and than it is possible if you are there personally with your passport! If you are friendly!!!

I would never ship to Brasil again, it is much easyer to liberate the bike in Argentina!
To the shippingcompany in Austria i have to say that i shipped two times before with them and it was no problem at all! It was before DHL and Danzas got one company.
