The Brazil Electronic Customs Declaration (e-DBV) is a government-run digital system used by travelers entering or leaving Brazil who need to declare goods, currency, or items subject to inspection. It replaces the former paper-based customs forms and centralizes traveler declarations for customs compliance, taxation, and inspection procedures.
Travelers carrying items that exceed Brazil’s duty-free allowances, transporting large amounts of currency, traveling with restricted items, or bringing commercial goods must complete the e-DBV prior to arrival or departure, in accordance with government requirements.

Once submitted, the Electronic Traveler’s Goods Declaration (e-DBV) is processed by the Brazilian Customs (Receita Federal) online system. Travelers receive a confirmation of their declaration along with a QR code used for verification.
When accepted, the e-DBV details are electronically linked to the traveler’s passport and customs profile within the government system. There is no need to print a paper form, although keeping a screenshot of the QR code is recommended. Brazilian customs officers can verify the declaration electronically at the airport.A new e-DBV must be completed for each arrival or departure where goods, currency, or restricted items need to be declared.
If there are problems with your e-DBV submission — such as missing information, incorrect values, or undeclared goods — Brazilian Customs or airline staff may require you to correct or resubmit your declaration before boarding or upon arrival. It is essential that all details related to your personal information, goods, currency amounts, and receipts are accurate. Incomplete or incorrect declarations may cause delays, inspections, additional questioning, or in some cases, fines or taxes, until a proper declaration is completed.
