Full Details
Posting cosmetics to Brazil in personal quantities is permitted — registration and notification regimes govern marketing cosmetics, not personal parcels. Receita Federal do Brasil — RFB (Brazilian Federal Revenue Service) applies the ordinary parcel framework to an accurate CN22/CN23 declaration: 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. Aerosols and nail varnish are dangerous-goods limited quantities for air mail; bulk or repeated identical parcels are treated as unregistered commercial imports. 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.
Keep parcels to personal quantities and declare contents specifically ('face cream', not 'gift'). Check carrier rules for aerosols and nail varnish — they are the commonly refused items in this class.

Correios (Brazil Post) and customs assess international parcels. The Remessa Conforme program applies simplified rates for qualified e-commerce platforms. Non-compliant importers face full tariff rates. Items can be held at customs for extended periods.
