It's your own fault. So jeito brasileiro didn't work anymore. The Brazilian community has known for quite some time that Brazilian law was being enforced with more rigor at the port in Brazil. (Before this enforcement began to occur, many Brazilians shipped their stuff with BR Courier with no problems whatsoever.) And you yourself have posted (in yet one more thread on the saaaaaaaame subject) that you refuse to furnish the very documents that could possibly get your carton liberated at the port in Brazil. Your expectations of what U.S. law can and may do are unrealistic. The owner of the company will eventually be forced to declare bankruptcy and you may, in about 10 years of court cases, get 10 cents for every dollar you spent--but just on the shipping itself.
 
Now stop posting more cr@p to the forum crying about a risk you chose to take that went bad.

Shipping expensive stuff with false documents (valor $49.99) is illegal, so stop whining about this matter.
 
Brazilians abroad needs to start to get used to more civilized (law obidient) Brazil. The tighter importation control is a good start, whatever the reason has been to start that.  
 
I hate when they asked money to get your business stuff cleared. 
Luckily this has not been a case for years now, used to be though in the end of 1990's. 
In my company, the corruption is illegal and we don't support it (zero tolerance), in whatever s*it hole we are working.
 
The corruption is falling at least in alfândega here?  
 
 
 
 
life's too short to be living without you, babe.

It really had/has little to do with that. It's more about lack of documents.
It's about shipping cartons (with no weight limit other than the physical integrity/capacity of the carton) owned by various people but in a container whose documents are those of one person, the container(s) now being held at the port(s) in Brazil.
People used this method because shipping less than a whole container is so expensive (even if claiming value of contents as less than $50). Now they can't locate their cartons, because the cartons are in the name of the unknown container owner, to "rescue" the contents, sometimes of sentimental value, as well as financial. The cartons are routinely being auctioned at the port(s).
Most people knew the risks, and until recently, most cartons were getting through in a timely manner. BR Courier was known to be reliable about getting cartons to the destination in Brazil, so many people used them. I do sympathize, but really, people knew what could happen.
Unfortunately, there is now no reasonably priced method (Same size carton as a "mini-mudanca" is now a prohibitive 3X the price.) to ship larger, bulkier or heavier items, especially to the northeast, which I lament.
