yes Brazil taxes are ridiculous huge and there are taxes and fees for everything. So importing can be complicated to some people. as a full time student with not real job just yet it is for me, because you may or may not pay taxes before getting it into your home. It's a lottery, they simply choose some packages and taxed them.I live in the south, where you pay 90% of the product + shipping in taxes.
I'm okay paying $40 for a new game. But $40 + $10 shipping + taxes = $97,00. That's R$260,00. The minimum wage here is R$788. It's absurd. For ONE game!
And they keep trying to add taxes now and then when the government realize there are too many people buying from China and U.S. or even trying to change the law so they can tax every single package. Well, if you don't have the item here at least let us buy without taking half a month salary. Stupid country.
