The Post launched the import platform, in partnership with the credit card operator Visa (but also valid for other flags). Called "Buy Out", the service allows you to make an online purchase in the United States and receive the order in Brazil. But how worthwhile is it to use the new mail import platform?
On the platform
According to the information provided by the press office of the state company, Compra Fora aims to provide Brazilians the opportunity to buy products that are not marketed in the country: "The solution allows to ship products purchased online in US stores that do not sell or send their products to Brazil".
At the launch ceremony of the platform, it was explained that the purchase from the outside, he has a US partner who generates an address for the delivery of orders placed in the trade this country receives them, prepares the mailing and then ships to Brazil. [19659004] When the product arrives in Brazil, it always goes through the "easy customs clearance", according to the representative of the Post Office, this is what distinguishes this new service from the purchase of products from China, coming from Asia, according to the Post, "do not have the pre-filling of all clearance documents". And that would facilitate and speed up the process of importing US products.
The service is not new
In fact, the fact that there is an intermediary between the US shipping in Brazil is not new, other companies that offer this type of service in the country, just do a Google search. However, what the Post does is to generate all import tax calculations to prevent the product from being returned to the shipper.
In addition, it stipulates certain limits which are provided for in the Import Act and that
As I live in Germany, many friends and family members ask me to buy products in Berlin and send the order through the post office. However, my answer is always the same: no! The reason is that to send a product, especially electronics, from Germany to Brazil, you have to fill out forms and always add the value of the product. So when the order arrives in Brazil, it will be taxed. And that, in my opinion, is not worth it.
Simulation of Purchase
As I said above, the main idea of the Post with this platform is to offer the opportunity to buy products that are not marketed in Brazil. So, considering the morals and ethics of a public institution, you should not use the platform to buy the iPhone XS Max because Apple sells the device in the country , even if the price to the import of the device is greater than one thousand reais. Cheap via import.
La Poste has not yet specified how this check would be carried out internally. In contact with the press office of the institution, I had no response on this subject. But in the country where taxes on products are extremely high, Apple investors would certainly not be happy to know that a platform created by a public company offers the public the opportunity to buy iPhones at a price inferior. And do not get me wrong, because I do not care about Apple 's profits, it' s simply a question of tax ethics.
However, the purchase of a Google Pixel 3 XL would be perfectly suited to the purchase process of Out Purchase. 19659004] Google's most powerful smartphone, which is not sold in Brazil, can be found in the Google store for $ 899 and, according to the simulation Buy Out, the total value in reais, with delivery rates and applicable taxes. the import, would cost about $ 5,549.00 for a delivery to São Paulo. This amount is calculated in addition to listing for today and without the sum of IOF. Recalling that, in the event that the federal police understand this, they may charge additional fees for the product at the time of customs clearance.
The same device, purchased from Lojas Americanas, would cost R $ 5.559.00. , without import tax or IOF, with a shipping cost of R $ 75.00 for São Paulo (variable depending on postal code).
More than that: by searching, it is possible to find a company that offers to bring the device as a piece of luggage and would pay you a little more than the value of the handset. In other words, in this case, it would not be worth it to buy the device.
Pay attention to FAQ section on external purchases
Before using the Buy Outside Service, I recommend you check out the FAQ page of the platform. . In this way, you avoid future surprises. Here I have separated at least five points to read before making a purchase:
-
International purchases made with a credit card may be submitted to IOF. The amount will be billed on the credit card bill and not on the non-paid
-
The basis for calculating the tax on importation takes into account the value of the goods and international freight.
-
After payment, additional charges may apply. ? Yes it is possible. When the package arrives in Brazil, it goes through the customs clearance process, the Brazilian federal tax department can arbitrate a different value for your product and, therefore, there will be changes in the collection of taxes. If this happens, you will be informed and guided about how to make the additional payment in order to receive your product.
-
What happens if I do not pay the extra amount? If there is no additional payment, the amounts already paid as import tax II and ICMS will be refunded. Amounts paid for mailing and distribution will not be refunded. The parcel will not be returned to the sender. To know the destination of the package, please contact the post office.
-
In case of loss of my package, will I be compensated? In case of loss, standard packages can be compensated up to R $ 3,000.00. Express packages can be compensated up to R $ 10,000.00.

import platform of the post office?
It depends! The purchase of books seems to be an excellent use of Compra Fora because no import tax is collected. In all my simulations, even books worth $ 3,000 (maximum purchase value on the site) could be purchased by paying only the value of the goods and freight.
Importing an iPhone is risky because Apple sells devices here and the product could be returned to the sender if the regulators interpret it as well . In addition, saving a thousand dollars at the time of purchase will allow you to have a technical or unsecured support device in Brazil.
