Best way to ship a digital camera worth about $150?
Best way to ship a digital camera worth about $150?
I am currently an exchange student in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil and my camera disappeared so I need a new one. I want to order one online and have it sent to my house in the U.S. since the prices in Brazil are ridiculous. What would be best way for my parents to send it? I don't have a CPF number and I don't want to pay that crazy import tax since I'm a student, and I'm not working and I don't want to have to pay for the camera twice just to get it!

you´re gonna have to pay taxes anyway, be prepared to pay at least 60 dollars in the mail office

The joys of being a foreigner. I´m an exchange student in Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro. You can use your parents CPF number I suppose? The import tax is inevitable though. Its a new item.. you must pay. Think of it this way. The camera here would cost.. probably $500-600 reais. Minimum. Works out to $300ish american. You´ll still be saving money. Get your host parents to help you look to see if there are any loopholes on a gov´t website. Good luck
