⚠️ Key Considerations for Shipping to Brazil
💰 Extremely High Tax Burden
Brazil's standard import tax for non-Remessa Conforme sellers is 60% import duty + 20% ICMS + other taxes. Effective landed cost multiplier is often 2–2.5× the product price. Build this into retail pricing from day one.
📋 Remessa Conforme Program
Only certified platforms qualify for the simplified 20% duty rate. Shopify stores not on Remessa Conforme pay 60% duty. Consider selling via certified marketplaces (Shopee, Shein, AliExpress) or applying for certification directly.
📦 INMETRO Certification
Electronics, electrical equipment, toys, and many consumer goods require INMETRO certification for legal sale in Brazil. This requires local Brazilian test lab approval and can take months. Essential before any large-scale 1688 imports.
🚚 Customs Delays Common
Brazilian customs (Receita Federal) is known for frequent holds and delays. A significant percentage of parcels are inspected. Use freight agents experienced with Brazil customs procedures — inexperienced agents cause costly delays.
💳 Pix & Boleto Payment
Pix (instant bank transfer) is now Brazil's dominant payment method with over 130M users. Boleto (bank slip) is also widely used. Enabling these on Shopify BR is essential — without them, conversion rates will be very low.
🌐 Portuguese Language Required
All product descriptions, labels, safety warnings, and customer communications must be in Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR). English or Spanish materials are not sufficient for legal Brazilian consumer product sales.

Frequently Asked Questions
Brazil's standard import duty is 60% of customs value for most consumer goods. However, under the Remessa Conforme program, certified platforms can import B2C parcels at 20% duty for shipments up to $3,000 USD. Federal taxes (IPI, PIS, COFINS) and state ICMS (typically 17–18%) also apply on top, making Brazil one of the highest-tax import destinations globally.
Remessa Conforme is a Brazilian government program that allows certified cross-border e-commerce platforms to import B2C parcels with a simplified 20% import duty rate (vs. the standard 60%). Platforms like Shopee, AliExpress, and Shein participate. Individual Shopify or direct-to-consumer stores not on the program face the standard 60% duty rate.
Dropshipping to Brazil is challenging due to high import taxes, but can be viable for premium or hard-to-find products where customers accept higher prices, or for sellers using platforms certified under Remessa Conforme. Many experienced Brazil sellers build import duties into their retail pricing from the start.
Different shipping channels apply different volumetric weight formulas. For Brazil, the high import tax burden means freight costs are a smaller percentage of total landed cost — but accurate dimensions still matter for selecting the most cost-effective shipping channel and calculating precise landed costs.
