Tips to buy on Play-Asia and not be taxed

Packages below 50$ can be taxed, especially if the package has the company logo, so choose the neutral package. Avoid asking Play-Asia to reduce the value of the package to be below 50$ because it's no use, the inspectors are not stupid. Especially if the producer is very expensive.

If you paid less than $50 and were still taxed, you can dispute the tax amount. For this you fill out an application that can be found in the mail or on the internet.

Always choose the cheapest shipping and economical. Express and more expensive shipping like DHL, Fedex, UPS and TNT have a 100% chance of being taxed. Don't forget to click Opções neutras / de embalagem para presente to select the package type and choose the Embalagem neutra.

The tax may be higher than the 60% what people imagine. That's because there are other taxes on the tax. Do not think that it will always be an advantage to buy from abroad, sometimes it is usually more advantageous to buy in Brazil.

You can buy freely games and products under 110 USD. Remember that books can never be taxed, so feel free to purchase your manga, artbooks, and other print publications.

Import at times like Christmas, Easter and other commemorative dates. The holidays in Brazil drastically increase imports, making it easier for your product to be shipped without being taxed, the big problem is that there will probably be a delay in delivery.

Regarding the tax of 15 reais on postal dispatch from Brazil, you can avoid it if your order is ePacket/EMS. Tracking codes that start with CP, LZ, EA and LX are from China and are also usually exempt from postal dispatch.
