04/11/24 @williamggs. Welcome! Your best bet is to contact a mover who has actually moved people to Brazil and has Brazil experience. Allied/North American have strong Brazil connections, so I'd try calling some of their representatives first. Even if you don't use them, if they know the details of moving someone to Brazil, they'll at least be able to tell you the pitfalls. Avoid any company that has no Brazil experience. You don't want them learning on your shipment.

Your letter from the Consulate should certainly protect you from the Receita Federal trying to collect back income taxes from you for your period of US residency. I'm not sure to what extent, if any, it will help you with Import Taxes.

You're going to have a lot of trouble with the electric scooter and the electric bike; I'm not sure that will even be possible.
