Yes, you’re looking at ~92% tax right there. Final price jumped from ~113 dollars (584BRL) to ~220 dollars.
EDIT: A bit of clarification, when buying from abroad there’s a flat 60% federal tax if the thing + shipping price surpasses 50 dollars. Then there’s a state tax that can vary between 17-25%, which goes on top of the total taxed value. Part of the tax is literally “tax of a tax”

They do, they really do 😂. There is this one gal, Melanie, she calls me personally to ask me “how long do you plan on doing this 😒… eventually you’re gonna get caught 😒” 🤣🤣🤣. I just say “I have no idea what you’re talking about, I just have a lot of relatives in wherever” 🤣🤣🤣.
