Brazilian tariffs are far higher than on the #FAKE_NEWS site. Tax can be more than 100% of the price of an imported car. If you import at US$ 10.000, expect to pay AT LEAST US$ 12500 tax, for a total of US$ 22500. And then there's the importer's 20% " cut" on top of that .... Not many honest people buy imported cars. Our central bank is still run by Bolsonaro's minions.... and they decide the value of taxes. []'s -- Don't be evil - Google 2004 We have a new policy - Google 2012 Google Fuchsia - 2021
