Starter activities in Brazil
These rows prove the country hub works as a useful browse page before the full dataset is researched.
bring vapes into a country
Brazil bans electronic smoking devices. Anvisa says it is prohibited to manufacture, sell, import, advertise or distribute all types of e-cigarettes, vapes, pods and similar devices.
drive without licence
Brazilian traffic law treats driving without a CNH, PPD or ACC as a gravíssima infraction. The vehicle is retained until a licensed driver is presented.
bring electronics without declaring them
Brazilian customs requires travelers to declare taxable goods, restricted items and other goods that should be declared. Going through 'Nothing to declare' with undeclared taxable electronics counts as a false declaration.
bring food into a country
Brazil does not allow travelers to enter with ready-to-eat food containing fresh animal or fresh plant ingredients. MAPA allows certain industrially processed low-risk products and can seize or send back prohibited items.
bring medical cannabis into a country
Brazil does not allow ordinary traveler carriage of medical cannabis as a normal baggage item. Anvisa says importing cannabis-derived products for personal treatment requires prior authorization and a prescription.
bring tobacco over the allowance
Brazil allows only limited tobacco quantities in accompanied baggage. Tobacco above the traveler allowance is not covered by the exemption and should be declared and taxed.
bringing duty free goods
Brazil allows duty-free purchases within traveler exemptions and quantity limits. Goods above the baggage or Free Shop exemption are taxable and must be declared.
gamble online
Brazil has a federal regime for fixed-odds betting. The Ministry of Finance says online games and sports betting may operate only with prior SPA authorization, and since 1 January 2025 only authorized operators may operate nationally.
