Separate ANTT Authorization Required for Cross-Border Road Transport (Mercosul/ATIT Countries)

Yes

Yes — A carrier’s domestic RNTRC registration doesn’t automatically cover international road transport to Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, or Uruguay. Separate registration as an international carrier is required with ANTT, governed by the Acordo sobre Transporte Internacional Terrestre (ATIT), Brazil’s regional road transport agreement with its South American neighbors.

Mandatory Civil Liability Insurance for International Transport

Yes

Yes — International road transport within the ATIT framework requires civil liability insurance covering potential cargo damage, layered on top of the domestic RCTR-C/RC-DC/RC-V policies already required for RNTRC registration.

OverviewOverview & Scope

For road transport into neighboring Mercosul/ATIT countries, a carrier needs separate ANTT authorization beyond its domestic RNTRC, and must carry civil liability insurance specific to international transport — layered on top of, not replacing, the domestic mandatory policies.

RegistrationRegistration & Compliance Essentials

Movers must:

1. Obtain separate ANTT international carrier authorization before operating road transport into Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, or Uruguay — domestic RNTRC registration alone doesn’t cover this.
2. Carry international-specific civil liability insurance, in addition to the domestic RCTR-C/RC-DC/RC-V policies already required for RNTRC registration.
3. Retain ANTT international authorization and insurance records as required for regulatory review.
