The floods in Rio Grande Sul became international news and those who live outside Brazil are moved by the situation. Therefore, there are many people in the United States and other countries who want to send some help.
If you are one of them, know that Azul airline will transport donations of some items from the United States to Rio Grande do Sul.
That is a very important initiative as the donation of products generally faces bureaucracy at both American and Brazilian customs, leaving those living outside of Brazil with the only option of donating money. However, Azul had authorization from the Federal Police in Brazil to transport certain goods donated by those living in the United States.
It is not any type of merchandise that can be donated. There are specific items that the airline can transport. They are:
• Personal hygiene items
• Disposable diapers
• Clothes
• Bed, table and bath linen
These products must be delivered to:
• Check-in at Azul FLL
• DUX Forwarding Corp.
10205 NW 19th Street – Suite 100, Doral FL – 333172
Always look for reliable sources to make donations. If you are donating goods, they may never arrive in Brazil if the entry of these products is not authorized.
