On August 1 this year, the Brazilian Federal Taxation Bureau announced that the new tax regulations of "termination of small exemptions" officially came into effect, imposing a 20% import tax on cross-border packages below $50, and a 60% import tax on packages between $50 and $3,000 (the import tax can be reduced by $20).
Brazil is one of the most difficult countries in the world to clear customs. The end of the "low-value small package duty-free" era has dealt a heavy blow to China's cross-border e-commerce.
As the largest economy in Latin America, Brazil has a population of more than 215 million, with an average age of 35, a high Internet penetration rate, strong consumer willingness, and a rapid growth in e-commerce. Now the "termination of small exemptions" means that the Brazilian government will "cover the bottom" of weak light industries.
