Every time someone sends something from abroad to Brazil, there is a heavy tax that must be paid in order to retrieve it from the postal service. All of my friends have stories of family members sending them items, only to have them stolen by the Brazilian postal service because they wouldn't pay an outrageous tax. I personally had to pay R$32 to retrieve my credit card from the postal service. How is that for stupid? I want to spend money in this country, yet I'm being taxed and effectively being told that I might as well buy elsewhere.

My understanding is that the import tax rate in Brazil is roughly 50% of the product value. Having recently visited São Paulo, it seemed to me that basic products at the few malls I visited were excessive even with the exchange rate. I was looking for tennis shoes as I didn't bring any and the cost was anywhere from 400 to 600 real (about $220 - $330 US). That's very high in comparison to the same shoes in the US. I understand that a lot of Brazilians visit the US to shop and that the visa process is about to become easier. But considering the cost of travel, it would appear that shopping online through a service that offers a US address (to facilitate US purchases) and then forwards the items to Brazil would be a cheaper alternative. What I am wondering is if the import tax rates are based on the price of the exact product being imported or based on a comparable item's cost in Brazil?
