Marco Três newsroom · edited by Annie Grellmann
Measure takes effect on August 1 and passes by the customs headquarters
Starting August 1, 2026, buses departing from the International Bus Terminal in Foz do Iguaçu must follow a mandatory route along Avenida Costa e Silva, Avenida Rosa Cirilo de Castro and Avenida Paraná before accessing BR-277. The route passes in front of the Federal Revenue headquarters, where vehicles may be directed to passenger, luggage and document inspections.
What changes
Portaria ALF/Foz do Iguaçu No. 299/2026 establishes the new mandatory route for buses leaving the International Bus Terminal bound for other municipalities and states. During the passage by customs, buses can be stopped for verification of passengers, luggage, parcels and documentation. After inspection, the vehicles resume their trip normally.
Purpose of the measure
The initiative aims to strengthen the fight against smuggling, illegal trade and other cross-border crimes, as well as increase passenger safety. The Municipal Tourism Secretariat of Foz do Iguaçu expressed support for the action, arguing that inspection measures contribute to protecting the formal economy and reinforce the city's image as a reliable destination.
Implementation process
The route was discussed with the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT) and with transport operators before its adoption.
