10 Itens que não podem ser exportados de jeito nenhum

Due to the appreciation of the dollar rates, export operations have increased significantly in recent months. Many companies are studying new options to take advantage of the opportunities. There are many different ideas and the range of possibilities is really extensive, but it is necessary to know that there are some items that are prohibited from being exported. 

To better understand this and respond, we wrote this article commenting on some products that cannot be exported. See the complete list below, including some rather unusual items.

  Firearms, armaments and related parts

Not all countries have the legal possession or license of weapons and the same happens with the importation of this product. Therefore, exporting these items would be a serious infraction promoted by the country of origin.

Hazardous waste

These residues can be harmful both to the place/country of destination and to the means of transport that will make the transit.

Products that could cause damage or delay to equipment and personnel or other products

Similar to the previous one, products that can interact in a harmful way with the environment where they are inserted cannot be shipped to other countries.

Products whose declared value for customs is higher than that allowed for the specific destination

If there is a restriction on the value allowed for importing this item in the country of destination, that is, if the value of the good is higher, it cannot leave Brazil.

Counterfeit products

The commercialization of these products violates laws and goes beyond restrictions regarding trademarks and patents, in addition to being able to cause problems due to low quality. For the same reason, exporting this type of product is also prohibited.

And the unusual products, which are they?

– Lottery tickets and gaming devices where prohibited by law
– Pornographic and/or obscene material

– Marijuana, whether for recreational or medicinal use
– Human corpses, human organs or body parts, human or animal embryos, cremated or unearthed human remains

It is important to keep the company's commercial mentality always open to new opportunities that the international market presents, but a preliminary analysis of the possibilities is very indicated to avoid problems when developing your new export project.
