With the arrival of the Conforming Shipment, the international purchasing prices have become more complicated. Now you need to know the amount to be paid for the product along with the mandatory tax collected.
The change came into effect some time ago, after a series of decisions taken by the government. However, many buyers have not yet adapted to the practice.

The new rules mean that individuals have to pay taxes of 60% on the purchase of imported products, plus the ICMS adjustment rate, around 17%.
However, the Conforming Shipping requires mandatory adherence. In other words, it is no longer possible to import without using the new methods.
It is important to understand that the 60% tax charge on the product also affects the shipping cost. With a simple tool it is possible to understand in a few minutes how much you will pay for the item upon arrival in the country.
The first step is to access the resource provided by “O Globo” clicking here. Then, you need to enter details of the value of the product plus the shipping paid to bring it to Brazil.

After creating the account, you will know the total amount to be paid for the product, according to Remessa Conformal guidelines. This way, you can decide whether the purchase is really worth it or whether purchasing the merchandise nationally is more beneficial for your pocket.
Before Compliant Shipping, not all of these transactions were subject to import taxes upon arrival in Brazil. Now, all purchases over US$50 may be subject to tax.
However, products below this value still have the incidence of values related to the ICMS adjustment of 17%, despite some users complaining about paying taxes even on products worth less than US$ 50.
For all these reasons, it is recommended to use tools like the one we present to calculate the amount to be paid for the product including tax charges. If the costs are not paid, the IRS may seize your product or even send it back to the international seller.
