Nintendo Officially Exits Brazil
- gcb0 12y agobrazil is a joke. 80 to 300% import taxes on anything with electronics (everything made after the 80s) there are exceptions if any step of production is done in the country, which causes all large companies to buy a small warehouse with some 5 employees (usually in tax free hellhole of manaus), and all they do is assemble the last two screws on the case. That works even for automobiles which has the highest import fees. harley has a factory where they literary just bolt the top cover of the engine and its enought to qualify as "made in manaus" it is a travesty that only serves the big corporations. That plus income disparity causes fun things, such as a PS4 during christmas there costing US$2k (R$6k)
