FAQs – Shipping Household Goods from Canada to Brazil
The average cost to ship a container from Canada to Brazil can range from about USD 4,200 to over 7,800 for a 20 ft container, depending on distance to ports, season, fuel surcharges and services like packing and insurance. Smaller LCL or air shipments cost less overall but more per kg. The best way is to request a personalised moving quote based on your inventory.
Typical sea freight transit time is around 25–40 days port-to-port, plus extra time for packing, loading, customs and local delivery on each side. Air freight can arrive in 3–10 days, but customs and delivery may still add a few more.
In many cases, yes. If you are relocating to Brazil and your goods are used, for personal use and meet rules for residency and timing after your arrival, Brazil may allow duty-free import of personal effects and household goods. You usually need a CPF number, proof of residency, and a detailed inventory. Customs rules change, so we guide you through the latest requirements.
Sea freight is usually more economical for full homes and large volumes, while air freight is faster for small, urgent shipments. Many families ship most furniture by sea and send a few important boxes by air so they have essentials on arrival.
Common documents include: passport copies, Brazilian visa or residency proof, CPF number, detailed inventory list in Portuguese/English, bill of lading or air waybill, and sometimes a power of attorney for customs representation. We provide a checklist and help you prepare each form correctly.
Yes, you can normally ship electronics as part of your household goods, as long as they are for personal use and properly declared. However, they may attract taxes if they do not fit duty-free rules. We advise you how to pack them securely and list them clearly on your inventory.
Insurance is optional, but strongly recommended. International transport involves long distances and multiple handling points, so marine cargo insurance protects you if something is lost or damaged. We can arrange all-risk coverage based on the total declared value of your shipment.
Ideally, contact us at least 6–8 weeks before your planned move date. This window gives enough time for surveys, quotes, packing planning, container booking and documentation. During peak seasons, earlier is even better.
