Bike shipping UK to Brazil ???
Anyone knows how to do it? I am Brazilian an I have a bike here in the UK, I'd really like to send my bike to Brazil, as some of you might know a imported new bike costs there there the double because of taxes, ****ing government.
Cheers

Fontana,
Legalmente, até onde eu sei, não tem como trazer qualquer tipo de motocicleta nova ou usada, sem pagar nossas altíssimas taxas de importação.
I´m sure, there is no way!!!
Abraços,
Reginaldo Rohden.

Oi Fontanna!
You cannot officially import any used vehicle into Brazil, just not allowed unfortunately.
Only new vehicles can be imported, but count on about 100% import duties.
If you do want to get yor bike to Brazil, the way to go is overland. NEVER try to get it there through a brazilian port.
Ship it instead to eg Buenos Aires and drive to Foz do Iguazu. No questions asked, no one will even stop you at the border, you have to get off the bike and go after customs if you feel like it..
Just beware that there is a customs checkpoint between Foz and Cascavel.
But there is a detour you can take to avoid it.
Or on sundays it is closed....
If you have a british paspoort though (or any other non brazilian) you can ofcourse always drive around as a tourist.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
