Dont know where to post this so I post it here...

I'm thinking of buying a car from Brazil and have no idea what so ever on how to get it shipped from Brazil to Europe....

If anyone out there have done this or know of any tips on how to do it I would appreciate any tips. Very Happy

Maybe some Brazilian Fusca enthusiasts could be of assistance? Wink

Hi Kristian,

Although I have experience of shipping from Brazil to the UK I don't really think it would help you to recommend the UK Shipping Agent I used.

The easiest way to do it is to "Google" shipping agent + helsinki. These people are dealing with all the problems you are likely to encounter on a daily basis and a good agent will save you a lot of headaches.

The best bit of advice I can give you is to get as many quotes as you can for the route you require...Santos to Helsinki or wherever. You'll find they vary quite a bit.

Get a moving company that provides complete information such as the date and time of departure from the place your car is originating to the exact date and time it gets to you. Although I've had many bad experiences with moving companies, you are left with no other choice.

Be Very careful, we don't ship from South America due to the potential problems with UK customs and the problems with drugs.

When speaking to our agents they all told us not to do it with horror stories of vehicles being dismantled on arrival in the UK.

If you can find one from elsewhere then so much the better.

Hi,

I am from Brazil,i think you not have problem to ship anything from here.

The problem is the cost to ship and the customs from your country.

If you need anything from here,tell me ,i can help you.

Sorry my poor english,i am learning.

regards

Thank you. Very Happy

I will investigate my options and I'm looking for a suitable car for the moment. If I find it I will try do this procedure closer to the end of the year.

Hi,
I have not yet got that far as shipping a car from there either. A few other projects came inbetween.

But I have not yet skipped this by any means. So, one of these days... Smile

But have you found any useful information about it? Mine is going to happened in a period of one month, if it does. I have found a guy in my country, Serbia that can organize it, but he is asking for a container with two cars, two because it is the same price as the small one, 3000 euros... which is a lot...

Sorry, no price info from me in this case either. I will most likely be able to get help with shipping from my work.

Kind of in the same boat as John with this one; I have a good rec. but it's from the U.S. to Europe https://www.a1autotransport.com/ship-car-to-brazil.php (they also ship to Brazil). One thing I cannot stress enough when shipping a vehicle between countries is to make sure the shipper knows exactly what they're doing. Miscommunications and incompetence are one thing when it's easy to contact the company, but it can be a real problem with international. "saving money" could def. cost you in delays and additional fees if they don't know the laws, taxes, etc.

edit: nevermind, I just caught the date on this.
