Yep, that is what I heard from my brazilian coworkers
as well. Importing
anything into Brazil is a very expensive undertaking due to very high
customs duties. And on top of that there are other limitations as well,
sharply curtailing the amount of stuff a young company for instance can
import[0].

This is a HP16500A to C upgrade kit a nice chap from this list kindly
helped me to aquire and shipped to me in Brazil. It was stopped by the
customs, and they want to charge hefty charges for it. When you see "emissao
de DSI" it means they think the item costs more than $500 and has to be
imported by other means, paying lots of money. I sent the docs to them
explaining what it is and how much it costed, and I'm waiting for them to
clear the packet and tell me how much will it be. But I already know it will
be a hell of money.
