I am surprised they aren't Brazillian. Some Brazillian friends from school did that, they would fly to Miami to go shopping, buy game consoles, etc.

- lazide 8mo agoBrazilian customs figured this out awhile ago, be too obvious and you’ll get one hell of a fine.
- rescbr 8mo agoIf shipping then yes, customs got stricter thanks to Shein. If flying then you can bring up to 1000 USD of stuff tax-free every 30 days. On top of a personal phone and watch. Plus 1000 USD of stuff you can purchase at the duty-free shop once you land.
- lazide 8mo agoIf you left with a phone (pretty mic required), you can’t come back with an extra iPhone - since those are typically > $1000. Of course, people will. It’s mostly the folks bringing back 5 new phones or whatever that get nailed. But mostly they only care if you’re obviously Brazilian of course hah
- rescbr 8mo agoYeah, this is more pronounced with watches.
