Electric vehicle import tariff and quotas

In 2023, Brazil enacted import tariffs and import quotas for the importation of hybrid vehicles, plug-in hybrids, electric vehicles, and electric trucks.

Import rates and quotas, which gradually decrease over time, vary depending on the type of vehicle. For example, vehicles under under a 2.07 MJ/km consumption performance are exempted from tariffs within a quota initially set at US 130 million units in January 2024, which gradually decreases to US 43 million in 2026. 

Other types of vehicles, such as dismantled cars, are subject to an import tariff that will increase annually.
