customs restrictions on departure

There are a series of products and objects that cannot be taken outside Brazil. The list includes:

• the raw skin of amphibians and reptiles (you can can travel with manufactured good such as bags, suitcases and other objects that use those raw materials)
• wild animals, dead or alive (for instance, butterflies)
• aquatic species in any stage of development without an official authorization
• a long list of works of art related to the history of Brazil and the periods when Brazil was a colony and an empire
• documents on Brazil edited from the XVI to the XIX century, as well as old musical scores

Quite frankly, it is not worth the hassle, don’t even attempt to leave Brazil with any of those products. Federal Police and Inland Revenue officers are quite unceremonious.

You can leave Brazil with goods up to a maximum value of 2.000 USD, for as long as their movement is not restricted.
