Alfândega brasileira e os problemas com eletrônicosTuristas brasileiros enfrentam problemas na alfândega na volta ao BrasilPor: Yalli Oliveira | Postado em: February 28th, 2011 ![]() Eletrônicos - Alfândega Diariamente recebemos perguntas e reclamações de brasileiros com problemas na alfândega em suas voltas ao Brasil. Um comentário recebido essa semana nos chamou muita atenção. Um dos nossos visitantes identificado com Fátima nos deixou um depoimento explicando um problema que ela teve em sua volta dos Estados Unidos. Fátima trazia alguns eletrônicos e peças de roupas comprados em sua viagem para Orlando, e ao chegar ao Brasil foi tributada no valor de 1200 dólares. Em nosso post “Levando mercadorias do Estados Unidos para o Brasil: Cotas e Alfândega“, explicamos um pouco como é o processo feito pela alfândega brasileira. Porém, existem alguma exceções e devemos prestar muita atenção na hora de comprar eletrônicos e outros tipos de mercadorias nos Estados Unidos. Leia o depoimento da Fátima e deixe o seu comentário:
Veja uma tabela com as novas regras da alfandega brasileira: Se você já passou por uma situação com a da Fátima, deixe o seu depoimento e ajude os brasileiros a entender um pouco |

This is all pretty average. The value of these items is much more in Brazil and customs officials have a lot of power and, as he said, he needs to justify his salary.
Fatima needs to improve her bribing skills.

Criminals are never very amusing. It's because they're failures. Those who make real money aren't counted as criminals. This is a class distinction, not an ethical problem.

Import taxes: the most regressive taxes there are.
Only the wealthy who can travel to Miami to buy their junk think they deserve not to pay Brazil's ridiculous import taxes. |

I also heard that now you can no longer take 10k US with you into BR.
Seems that is only 10k reais which is very different than US dollars. So you guys are in big trouble if you carry more than 10kreais into this country. ![]() |

This country is stupid and ridiculous.
Nowhere in the world this happens. BR is the only nation with import taxes. |

Notice how the limits (R$ 500) never went up. Brazil has to be the most opportunistic country for taxes I have ever seen! Don't forget that people pay: A departure tax to leave Brazil and an 8% tax on credit card transactions overseas!!

Clothes are only "insento" if they are used. Play Stations are part of the U$ 500 rule, as are the clothes if they are new. Same goes for cosmetics. Has to be used....

I told my wife about this, and she said that her cousin has been bringing in tons of stuff without paying anything. I bet it's like everything else in Brazil: it depends on which fiscal you deal with.
I'll never foget the last time I came into Brazil 6 years ago: There was a Brazilian in front of me that had boxes stacked to the ceiling and they waved him through. I had almost nothing -- one backpack and a small rolling suitcase -- but they made to go to the little room at GRU to be searched! Brazzzziill! |
