Importing scaffolding into Brazil: documents and information to request a quote

This guide covers what to send when you ask for a quote and a catalogue, without inventing Brazilian tax documents or shipping times.

JRS Scaffoldings is presented on the site as a division of Eastman Industries Limited (Ludhiana, India). This article does not issue a certificate and does not replace your customs broker in Brazil.

Commercial information (required)

  1. Product / SKU (or a photo)
  2. Specification or drawing
  3. Quantity per line
  4. Finish, if the order requires one
  5. Destination in Brazil (port)

Without this there is no useful quote.

Documents: ask, do not assume

An RFQ can ask the manufacturer for the list of what travels with the shipment (invoice, packing list, and whatever else the contract requires). We do not publish a list of Brazilian import documents here: that depends on the NCM code, the customs regime and your broker. Ask:

  • Which commercial documents does the manufacturer issue for this order?
  • Does the packing list reference the lot? The site describes a lot number, month and year stamp and a hologram on the manufactured product.
  • Packing: the site mentions steel pallets and poly wrap, wooden pallets for base jacks, and container stuffing at the factory. Confirm this for the SKUs in your order.

If a Brazilian tender requires a standard or a test, attach the page and ask what the factory can confirm in writing. Do not invent a test value or an MOQ.
