Anyody have any problems w FBI, PF, etc. and bringing US$ (or other curr.) into Brazil?

It seems safe from the standpoint that as long as they deposit the R$ in the Braz acct before the check clears the US, you can always place a stop order on the check if things go south (or further south as the case may be, lol).

There's a forum member known as Ray (who's been strangely absent lately), and he's stated most members of this forum are unscrupulous criminals and tax evaders, wanted in their home country.  Perhaps that's why no one is responding....  

 

Originally posted by 3casas i didn't think there was a way for a US check to be deposited in a non-US account.

You wouldn't think it could be that easy but at the BdB site you can find:

Tabela de Tarifas Pessoa Física
Financeiro - Outros
- Cobrança de cheque sacado no exterior     Unidade 50,00

Anyone venture to guess what that means. For obvious reasons, I have not yet asked at the bank.

I never tried to cash a check direct in BB, but I also saw where they are opening more branches in NY, NJ and MA due to the braz population.  Maybe that will open up the jogo more.
