Full Details

Posting perfume to Brazil is customs-permitted but carrier-constrained: fragrance alcohol is a Class 3 dangerous-goods limited quantity, so many national posts refuse or cap air-mail perfume, and couriers require limited-quantity packaging. On the customs side Receita Federal do Brasil — RFB (Brazilian Federal Revenue Service) treats it as an ordinary parcel: an accurate CN22/CN23 declaration is required, import VAT/GST at 17-25% ICMS + IPI + PIS/COFINS applies above the exemption threshold, plus duty on above-threshold consignments. Brazil significantly reformed its de minimis rules. As of August 2023, purchases from qualifying international retailers/platforms for individual buyers: up to USD $50 per purchase may use a simplified 20% flat rate with no import duty (Remessa Conforme program). Goods between USD $50–$3,000 face 60% import duty rate (simplified). The previous nominal de minimis was abolished for e-commerce from non-compliant sources. Gifts from individuals (not companies) up to USD $50 are generally duty-free. Postal imports into Brazil are taxed steeply under the Remessa Conforme regime — 20% import tax up to USD 50 and 60% above, plus state ICMS — so even low-value shipments arrive with significant charges.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Confirm the carrier accepts perfume before shipping to Brazil — postal refusal is more common than a customs problem. Declare contents accurately on the CN22/CN23; 'gift' mislabelling does not remove import charges and flags the parcel.
