We actually have import taxes on everything (except books), which is 60% plus state-specific taxes (around 10-15%), which you pay on the whole price you payed, including the shipping costs. So in my experience we pay approximately 100% over the original price.
- cesarb 8y agoActually, no, the uniform 60% is a simplified tax for imports by persons (not companies). The normal import tax varies according to the product. A quick web search tells me the list of import taxes is at http://www.mdic.gov.br/index.php/comercio-exterior/estatisticas-de-comercio-exterior-9 http://www.mdic.gov.br/index.php/comercio-exterior/estatisti... (the lists for download being at http://www.mdic.gov.br/index.php/comercio-exterior/estatisticas-de-comercio-exterior-9/arquivos-atuais http://www.mdic.gov.br/index.php/comercio-exterior/estatisti...).
