Import duties on baby products

Dear Lesley,

The import duties and taxes payable when importing these goods into Brazil are:

• Import Duty: 35%
• IPI: 0%
• Pis: 1,65%
• Cofins: 9,10
• ICMS (IVA/VAT): 18%

The import duty is applicable over import goods only while all other taxes are the same to products made in Brazil too. However, there is a 'equation' for calculation of the above duties/taxes and the result applicable over the CIF value are the following:

• Import Duty: 35%
• IPI: 0%
• Pis: 2,40%
• Cofins: 13,22%
• ICMS (IVA/VAT): 33,06%

Then the total amount of the duties/taxes paid 'at sight' for clearance of the goods for these produtcs is: 83,68%

For this example, the ICMS of 18% is for the State of São Paulo. Others States such as Rio de Janeiro, Parana, Santa Catarina, etc will have diferents percentages.

Hope this information can help!

I am looking forward to work with you.
