BEIJING TIME: 
Brazil · Santos
Brazil is not testing whether Chinese cars sell. The Zeekr 001, 7X and X are nameplates the retail network already offers. The purchasing question is which build you are buying. Built units and SKD have been at 35% import duty since July 2026. CKD reaches 35% on 1 January 2027. A 2027 VIN of the 001, 7X or X can be reserved now, and so can a 2027 Xiaomi, Toyota, XPeng, BMW, Mercedes-Benz or Volvo where that factory has opened the year. Reserving 2027 does not keep the 2026 CKD rate. The discharge is Santos.
001, 7X or X, and whether the unit is built, SKD or CKD, in the words the DUIMP will use.
A 14% CKD rate and a zero-duty quota both end on 31 December 2026. Reserving a 2027 VIN does not freeze them.
Brazil’s main container port. A battery car is booked as Class 9, UN 3171.
A car assembled in Brazil is not the parts list of the China-export VIN.
Lamps, clips, cooling parts and modules follow the VIN on the DUIMP. A car built in Brazil is another catalog, even when the badge matches.

In January–June 2026 Brazil took 394,410 Chinese passenger cars, second among destinations, and 293,032 new-energy passenger cars, the largest. That count is Gasgoo’s industry compilation of 11 August 2026, not a government text and not JCHCAR’s volume. The commercial point is simpler: the market already absorbs the cars. What you price is Gecex. The MDIC record of the 238th meeting, 23 June 2026, is the instrument. https://www.gov.br/mdic/pt-br/assuntos/camex/outros-documentos/deliberacoes/deliberacoes-da-238a-reuniao-ordinaria-do-comite-executivo-de-gestao-gecex
The outdoor picture on this page is the capital’s September 2026 show, not a customs bay. The declaration is Santos. Other terminals exist. They are not this file unless your despachante already clears there. IPI, ICMS and PIS/COFINS sit on top of the import duty. We do not type those percents over a heading we have not opened with you.
After the advance payment the factory issues three papers. The factory certificate of conformity is the vehicle passport: this VIN left the plant. The vehicle environmental information list is the emissions record of that VIN. The third paper is one document. The China compulsory product certificate and the type-conformity certificate are the same file. It states dimensions, mass and powertrain, M1 under GB/T 15089-2016. Your despachante registers the DUIMP. When the line needs an import licence, that licence is agreed before a container number exists. Senatran’s CAT and IBAMA’s LCVM, when the administrative treatment requires them, are Brazilian acts. We do not stamp them. We do not rewrite the invoice.
The 001 is the shooting brake. The 7X is the five-seat SUV. The X is the compact SUV. CarParts will not quote one against another. CarLive is a beta China-network session for certified dealers on units bought through this desk, including when the local portal will not open the car. We do not stamp an Inmetro label. PBEV stays with your homologation lab. The 7X retail sheet Zeekr publishes in Brazil is the brand’s specification, not our price.
B2B orientation for importers and workshop groups. Not a retail sale and not one private car. DUIMP, LI, IPI, ICMS, PIS/COFINS and port practice change. Gasgoo figures are an industry compilation. Not tax or customs advice. Your despachante files.
