Import taxes in Brazil are 60%, plus something like 18% on top of the product, shipping and the aforementioned import taxes.

The result is a nearly 100% tax on computers and consumer electronics.

One for you, one for the government.

And it's getting worse. Tariffs on computer hardware were raised only a few months ago.
