Correios began to charge a fee of R $ 15 for all international purchases as of this Monday (27). Previously, this amount was required only for orders taxed by the IRS. The change, according to the state-owned company, is due to the increase in imports and the consequent need for investments in the operation "to maintain the service standard".
If you've made an international purchase in the past few weeks, check out how to find out if the fee is pending and see how to pay it off. Payment can be made with a credit card or bank slip. The delivery time starts to count from the payment confirmation.
