Come on, people. In Brazil you pay a 60% import fee over the item price plus shipping costs and another 18% over this total amount in some states.

In theory, the duty free limit is $50. In real life, when the customs people say your $5 item is actually worthy $300, $300 it is. Of course that you can protest about that...and have them take 3 months to re-inspect the item, take a look at all the invoices, receipts and credit card bill you sent them stating "$5" and still say: "ok, it's worth $220".

damn! sounds like a horror story!
there are not many steelbook collectors in brasil ?! :/
