The price of shipping varies according to the weight of the product purchased abroad. After the purchase and receipt of the package in the post office warehouse abroad, the user receives an email detailing the amounts to be paid to release the shipment to Brazil. There are two modes of freight: normal and fast.
You can simulate shipping costs in an online tool (https://comprafora.correios.br/app/calculadora-envio/index.php). Shipping an iPhone XS to a So Paulo address, for example, costs $ 125 in normal mode or $ 150 in quick option. To simulate the costs, I need to inform the value and dimensions of the order.
How much tax is charged?
The Post Office applies the only rate of Import Tax, which is 60% under the value of the product plus shipping. You can get an estimate of total costs, including shipping and taxes, in the Buy Out simulator. The tool also shows the price of the converted product in reais, but this value is for reference only.
Can the post office pay for the merchandise?
No. Payment for the product purchased from a foreign site must be made prior to delivery to your Purchase Out address. Arriving there, the Brazilian service will only be responsible for calculating taxes and freight, collecting these amounts from the user and sending the package to Brazil.
Although Purchase Fora facilitates the payment of import taxes, there is nothing to prevent other fees being charged after the package arrives in Brazil. According to the Post Office, this may occur in customs clearance if the IRS understands that the value of the product differs from that informed by the store. In this case, the buyer would have to go through the conventional process of paying taxes at a physical post office.
However, the tendency that the involvement of the Post Office in sending the package from the country of origin to Brazil decreases the chances of unexpected expenses.
Before making a purchase, it is worth checking the Q&A area of ​​the Purchase Out website (https://comprafora.correios.br/app/faq/index.php) to clarify specific questions such as: weight and size. product maximum, delivery times, refund amount in case of loss, among other important information.
