CKD (Completely Knocked Down) assembly is the model in which the vehicle is imported as disassembled parts or kits to be assembled locally, following the industrial steps defined by the Basic Production Process (PPB) approved by SUFRAMA. In the Manaus Free Trade Zone, this model gives access to ZFM tax incentives and positions the product as made in Brazil, provided the PPB is fully met.
DBS operates with an approved PPB, ISO 9001-certified infrastructure and a team specialized in CKD motorcycle assembly and CKD motorcycle projects, allowing partner brands to start operating without building their own facility in Manaus and without the 18 to 36 months required by the traditional setup process.

The Basic Production Process defines the industrial steps that must be carried out inside the Manaus Free Trade Zone for the product to be recognized as locally made and to access ZFM tax incentives. DBS already holds the approved PPB for the vehicles it produces, so the client does not need to go through any regulatory approval process.
DBS serves NCM codes 8711 (motorcycles), 9503 (electromechanical and mechanical toys) and 9506 (sporting goods), as well as projects covered by SUFRAMA PPBs through project diversification.
