Bringing industrial machinery into Brazil from Poland
In short
Entering Brazil with industrial machinery from Poland hinges on the regulatory path (Product classification (NCM), INMETRO conformity) and keeping registrations in your own name. Scan the route before you commit budget or sign a distributor.
The regulatory path
Product classification (NCM)
Confirm the tariff code that sets import duty, IPI and required licences.
1–2 wks
INMETRO conformity
Mandatory conformity assessment for most technical/electrical products, via an accredited OCP — held in your name, not the distributor's.
12–18 wks
Import licensing (if applicable)
Some machinery needs a non-automatic import licence before shipment.
2–6 wks
Recommended entry model
Distributor-first with a time-boxed pilot, keeping certifications and registrations in your own name. Move to a local rep or entity only once volume is proven.
Top risks on this route
- 01Letting the distributor hold the INMETRO certificate — it controls your market access.
- 02Underestimating landed cost: import duty + IPI + ICMS can change the business case.
- 03Treating certification as an afterthought; it is the long pole and gates customs.
