Customs & documentation for Brazil

Brazil has some of the strictest and most expensive customs in the world. Import tax (Imposto de Importacao) of 60% applies to most goods over US0. On top of this, ICMS (state tax) of 17–25% is charged. This means a £100 item could attract £80+ in duties and taxes. Personal gifts under US0 may be exempt, but enforcement is inconsistent.

All shipments require a customs declaration with the recipient's CPF number (Brazilian tax ID). Without a CPF, parcels will be held indefinitely at customs. Commercial shipments require a formal import declaration and may need a licensed customs broker.

Best couriers for UK to Brazil

For the cheapest option, Royal Mail International Tracked offers affordable rates but delivery can take 14–21 days due to Brazilian customs. For faster, more reliable service, DHL Express is the standout choice as they handle customs brokerage in Brazil and offer door-to-door delivery. FedEx also provides strong coverage to major Brazilian cities.

Tips for sending to Brazil

• Always include the recipient's CPF number. Without this Brazilian tax ID, your parcel will be stuck in customs.
• Expect high import duties. Brazil charges 60% import tax plus state taxes. Warn the recipient about potential charges.
• Use DHL Express for reliability. They have the best customs clearance infrastructure in Brazil.
• Avoid sending electronics if possible. These attract additional ICMS and IPI taxes in Brazil.
• Keep declared values accurate. Brazilian customs frequently inspect and revalue parcels. Under-declaring can result in fines.
