Brazil Duty & Tax
Duty Rates
Duty rates in Brazil vary from 0% to 35%, with an average duty rate of 22.77%.
Brazil operates a 'Simplified Tax Regime':
Imports by post valued up to US$3,000 are subject to a flat Import Tax of 60% on the CIF value of the import.
Imports by courier valued up to US$3,000 are subject to a flat Import Tax of 60% on the CIF value of the import, and ICMS (sales tax) at the rate of the corresponding state, on the sum of the CIF value and Import Tax.
Sales Tax
ICMS is a state sales tax, and therefore tax rates in Brazil vary by state. There are three different rates that apply as follows:
19% - Rio de Janeiro
18% - Sao Paulo, Minas Gerais and Parana
17% - All other states
ICMS is calculated on the sum of the CIF value, duty, and any excise and federal taxes if applicable.
Minimum thresholds
There is no minimum threshold in Brazil for imports of mail orders (i.e. online or telephone purchases).
Imports with a value up to US$50 sent by post, where the sender and the consignee are private individuals, are exempt from duty and taxes.
We strongly recommend shipping through Postal small air instead of courier to avoid the possible tax & dutys
