Taxes and greediness play a strong role in Brazil. For example, I just imported 10 Tessels to start a class on IoT. So they charged 98% taxes, (60% import taxes + 20% icms + 18% of administrative fee from UPS).
- gol706 10y agoNot an endorsement of this, but nothing that I have order directly from China has ever had an honest customs declaration on it. It's always a "gift" of "soap" or "lotion". I'm guessing if you charge 98% in taxes it's worth it to have customs agents who actually inspect things though.
