Shipping to Santos and São Paulo
Santos, on the coast of São Paulo state, is the largest port in Latin America and the gateway for São Paulo, about 80 km inland up the coastal mountains. It serves the industrial south-east of Brazil.
Practical tips. Choose Santos for consignees in São Paulo, Campinas, Santos and the interior of the state, and for the southern states of Paraná and Santa Catarina. Brazilian clearance requires the owner's CPF tax number, the e-DBV declaration for personal effects and a customs broker (despachante).
São Paulo traffic is heavy and trucks face time restrictions in the city, so deliveries are often scheduled at night or early morning. Allow extra time for clearance: Santos is busy and Brazilian inspections are thorough.
Santos also has fine beaches and coffee history.
