Yes, you're looking at ~92% tax right there. Final price jumped from ~113 dollars (584BRL) to ~220 dollars.

EDIT: A bit of clarification, when buying from abroad there's a flat 60% federal tax if the thing + shipping price surpasses 50 dollars. Then there's a state tax that can vary between 17-25%, which goes on top of the total taxed value. Part of the tax is literally "tax of a tax"

Doesn't work in Brazil. Gifts cannot be sent from a business to a person, and even then there's a 50 USD limit.

You tell him to send it as a person ๐Ÿคท.

What I've found out over the years is that Chinese will agree to almost anything to make a sale ๐Ÿ˜‚.

And you can always claim engineering samples if it's a gift from a company ๐Ÿ˜‰.

i'm afraid they make no such exceptions here.

and its being taxed directly at the platform, so no chance of asking them to claim a lower price like we used to do before. we have to find another way.

Tell them to write it off as engineering samples ๐Ÿคท. That's the only thing that comes to mind...

Maybe if you write what tax deductions you have on import, I might have better ideas ๐Ÿ˜‰.
