Importing used excavators to Brazil
Santos is the largest port in Latin America, serving São Paulo and the whole country.
Inspect first
Cold-start video, hydraulic movement, undercarriage photos and nameplate. For remote used-equipment purchases, video is the baseline.
Ask for CIF Santos
Machine price and sea freight should be listed separately. Larger excavators ship by flat rack or break bulk.
Customs and taxes
Brazilian import taxes are complex — confirm import duty, IPI, ICMS and clearance documents before you commit.
Send the right inquiry
State model, tonnage, year and hours, destination port, and whether you need FOB or CIF.
