What's the Import tax in Brazil ?

Question

I want to send a cell phone to Brazil. What's the import tax the receiver has to pay? The value of the phone is USD 800.
I heared that the import tax in Brazil is very hight. That's why IÄm asking.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Answer 1

If you send it through mail or any carrier (FEDEX and UPS ship to Brazil), you'll pay 60% over the $800 (i.e. $480 in taxes). And somewhere I read you cannot ship anything over $500 to Brazil, but I don't have the reference here.

That's why most people simply carry the phone with them, or let smugglers take care of the job.

Answer 3

Good day,
There is no import tax in Brazil for goods (gifs) up to US$ 800. You cam simply send it via mail indicating the nature of the good, value and the fact it's a gift (including the bill is preferable).If the cellphone costs more than 800 $ by a cheaper one.

Answer 5

Hello!

The import tax in Brazil is very high indeed, something around 19%. I may say that all brazilians have the right to "bring" goods until a limit of USD 500,00 withour paying the import tax. Anything above this amount must pay taxes.

Good luck!
