Yes, you’re looking at ~92% tax right there. Final price jumped from ~113 dollars (584BRL) to ~220 dollars.
EDIT: A bit of clarification, when buying from abroad there’s a flat 60% federal tax if the thing + shipping price surpasses 50 dollars. Then there’s a state tax that can vary between 17-25%, which goes on top of the total taxed value. Part of the tax is literally “tax of a tax”
You must thank to the new president and his policy of spend money as were no tomorrow and create ministries and secretaries for other parties in order to approve laws. Ah ask to DiCaprio and Greta if this is good for them, bacause they supported this candidate, and the environment got no improvement so far
Tell them to mark it as a gift, works around here 🤷.
Doesn’t work in Brazil. Gifts cannot be sent from a business to a person, and even then there’s a 50 USD limit.
You tell him to send it as a person 🤷.
What I’ve found out over the years is that Chinese will agree to almost anything to make a sale 😂.
And you can always claim engineering samples if it’s a gift from a company 😉.

Have you tried this trick before?
Customs officers hate him because of this one weird trick!
Fuck Haddad, this fucking neolib. He has NO place in a supposedly “”“leftist”“” government.
I’m curious – strong protectionism is usually associated with far-left pro-labor government. Free market economics and low tariffs (here in North America, policies like NAFTA for example) are more associated with centrist neoliberalism.
What makes you suggest that high import taxes are a neoliberal policy?

Por algum motivo o Brazil tem impostos disparatados sobre componentes electrónicos… não me parece que isso esteja propriamente a desenvolver a indústria local
O governo atual diz ter planos para começar a fabricar chips de processadores aqui. Entre isso e de fato começar a produção, podemos esperar pelo menos 6 anos (realisticamente, mais de 10).
Vale notar, esse imposto da tela é simplesmente por importação como pessoa física. 60% de imposto federal sobre o valor do produto e frete, depois tem outro imposto de cerca de 20% sobre o valor taxado anterior. Então a conta é
(100 + 60%) + 20% = 190PS: marcar o idioma do post como “português” simplesmente trava e não vai. Deve ter algum bug no lemmy quanto a isso
Aparentemente aumentou de novo e em abril/2025 vai passar de 100%. Alguém sabe se procede essa informação?
Graças a Deus comprei meu RPi 4b na pandemia. Paguei só os 600 com case, cartão de memória 64gb, fonte e cabo HDMI.
Hey, free shipping.
grátis.
De graça
Dude, Argentina recently updated this from 100% tax to 155%. We literally pay more to the government than the full price. And this is for every purchase, no matter the amount. Be thankful that your shitty politicians are less shitty than ours, you could be worse.
“Be happy about your horrible situation because there are more horrible situations out there” is such a shitty take.
Basically you’re saying “unless you’re the single most unfortunate person on the planet, maybe even throughout all of human history, you should be happy”, which is obviously nonsense.
That is insane
I guess this is supposed to stop you guys from buying stuff in USD, right?
From buying stuff from abroad in general. If it’s imported, it can be taxed. Before Haddad (current economy minister), it was a gamble whether you’d be taxed or not, most of the time you weren’t. Now, “to combat contraband”, Aliexpress gave the thumbs up to this fucking stupid idea.
Worked at a trade expo years ago. Talked to Brazilians. Another issue they ran into is corruption.
They were doing their best to temporarily export stuff to Europe, but there were endless delays in Brazil, and sudden and unforseen ‘extra fees’ that needed to be paid to get stuff out of the country.
Guy wasn’t even angry anymore. Just sad. His fellow countrymen were undermining a Brazilian business out of sheer greed.
Incredibly short sighted too.
Incredibly shortsighted too
That’s business. Cash now. The rest is fuck you, cash now.
That’s not business, that’s corruption. They’re not generating any added value like business does, they’re parasiting on it.
That’s just capitalism, then
Brazil’s government heavily pushes for things to be made there. A place I worked several years ago had an office there for some final assembly or something for products sold there.
Thats a lie. This policy was negotiated mostly with the burgeouis resellers.
We have NO concrete plan to actually industrialize.
That is insane, it’s literally a robbery
