Curitiba is the capital as well as the largest city in the state of Parana in Brazil. It is also the eight biggest among other cities in terms of population and the largest in the South Region of Brazil.

Procedures for import of vehicles

It is an important economic, cultural and political hub in the entire Latin America. If you are planning to move your vehicle to Brazil from USA or have to move to Curitiba, it is essential to stay updated about all aspects of the regulations.

If you have an older vehicle which is classic and it’s not functional, you might need a lift-on/lift-off transportation. You can use RORO transportation wherein only an empty vehicle can be moved. It is the cheapest method as you only pay for the space occupied by your vehicle on the ship’s deck. Another alternative for you would be to use container shipping which is going to get you a container of an appropriate size and it’s going to protect your vehicle during the entire process. However, it’s more expensive. You can also take advantage of door-to-terminal services which would pick up your vehicle at your doorstep and get it delivered to the destination port of your choice.
