Brazil

[bigdeals.etc]

Welp, I guess it looks like I won't be selling to Brazil anymore. Even if I do get the tax ID from the buyer, I don't want to take the risk that their clerical work would be on the ball with this. Just another thing to go wrong if you ask me.

I love it "or even disposal". Is that legalese for "our customs officers will keep the cool items you ship"? Nice of them to keep you in the loop though. I couldn't imagine all the headaches involved with international shipping these days.

I would think that the customs officials would be delighted to "dispose" these items...right into the unmarked big car outside the back door!

Another article said

"If it doesn’t have the CPF, the package will either be shipped-back or destroyed, and the sender will be responsible for paying a fine."

Customs forms aren't required if you can ship it FCP International under 15.999 Oz.

Wrong.

FCPI goes up to 4 lbs

And always requires a Cusoms form.

Whether it is a one-piece eDelcon form or a 4-piece full form, all international package services require a customs form.

First Class MAIL international (letters) is the only thing does not require customs forms.

Imagine the spasm that would destroy the American economy if every buyer had to
provide his SS# or tax ID# for every online purchase.

Actually a pretty smart move by Brazil. If a buyer is bashful about handing out that tax ID # then he'll buy locally and keep the money in Brazil.

That would be the end of me as an internet seller.  My SSN is not going public by anything I'm willing to do on purpose.

It's bad enough as it is when every man and his dog seem to expect you to hand it over.

I know huh. Why not also add your bank account numbers and PINs? So much for discretion too.

One more reason to add to my list of why I don't sell outside the US. 

This will be an issue for the local population of Brazilians, of whom we have many, both legal and illegal.  The legal ones got that way by marrying Americans or by being the child of illegals, born here.   They are actually welcome here and do jobs that other people won't do.  They are good, hard-working people, generally very religious with high moral standards.  We are happy to have them.
