- Casseres 13y agoFor the difference in price, it seems like you could buy a round-trip ticket to the United States. If they are a hot commodity in Brazil, you could buy more than one and resell them. I've never been to Brazil though, so I don't know how customs will react you importing 5 to 10 laptops.
- HugoDias 13y agoSadly we can't do this. Each person coming back from another country has an limit in dollars to buy. If this limit is overpassed, a lot of taxes will be setted in each product, increasing the price.
- winter_blue 13y agoThat's an insane markup. Can you buy it from US-based sellers and get it shipped to your home in Brazil? (Like via eBay or something.) I assume there'd be customs, but my guess it that it's probably not going to bring the price anywhere close to $2.65k.
- HugoDias 13y agoYes I can do an import, but here in Brazil, each import value above $ 50 gives the government the right to add a charge of 60% to the IRS and a rate of 30% of state revenue! Doing the calculations the product is twice more expensive. $ 1500 = R $ 3,571.80 + 60% = R $ 5,714.88 + 30% = R $ 6,786.42 R $ 6,786.42 = $ 2,850.00 !!! :/
