Brazilian Customs is open DURING THE STRIKE.

Boomerang carnets® has been informed by Confederation of National Industry (CNI), the national guaranteeing association in Brazil, that Brazilian Customs are currently on strike. Consequently, their offices are open only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

CNI is monitoring this issue very carefully to avoid any trouble with the handling of ATA Carnets in Brazil.

Brazilian Customs offices are scheduled to handle ATA Carnets for the purposes of Customs clearance from Monday to Friday, from 8:00 am until 6:00 pm.

Brazil is the 85th country/territory to join the ATA Carnet system. It is only the third Latin American member country after Chile and Mexico. The National Guaranteeing Association is The Confederação Nacional da Indústria (CNI - National Confederation of Industry).

Please contact a Carnet Specialist at the boomerang carnets® Carnet HelpLine®, (800) ATA-2900 / (800) 282-2900, or email us for additional information or if you are planning to use a carnet for travel to Brazil.
