In this pass no general age restriction and no special permit were found for importing used industrial machinery (chapters 84-85): it classifies and pays exactly as new machinery does. The operational risk is valuation: with no list price available, the tax authority (SAT) may challenge the declared value of a used item (value adjustments, reasonable doubt). A specific rule or administrative provision from SAT on used goods was not found and remains to be researched. Vehicles are a separate and more expensive regime (IPRIMA).

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

Caveat

absence of a restriction means not found, not confirmed; SAT rules on used goods still to be researched

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
