Selling the bike to another foreigner has been a real dilemma, but I believe I've found the solution for this question, at least when we're talking about countries that are part of the MERCOSUL.

I've done this procedure already for Cadjuka and Kito, both HU users, it demands some burocratic works that would not be feasible for a foreigner doing it, but as I'm quite used with Customs issues due to my work here in Iguazu, I spoke with the right people and found a legal way for people being able to enter, ride and leave Brazil using a bike registered in someone else's name.

After producing the right docs, notary, receita federal(aduan), etc, for legal procedures, the buyer will have the TIP under his name, even with the bike docs. under someone else's name and the seller will have the bike cleared out of Brazil with no responsability anymore, so it means it's legal for the customs, police and other institutions, including airport and ports. The person who's buying the bike will be allowed to enter ride and leave Brazil legally, also will be able to ship out the bike to anywhere.

All the procedures are based on the 1969 Viena Convention and MERCOSUL agreements, the principles used are the same for exporting and importing among theses countries.

I'm based in Foz do Iguaçu, Brasil, if anyone need info about this kind of procedures, please PM me or email: rodolfofoz "at" hotmail.com
