It's hit or miss when getting things through customs, if your CPF# is readily available somewhere in the description of package it seems to come through fairly easy, but I've had some complications and either had to pay taxes or item was returned. None were electronic items either.

I order books regularly and if the description is correct "book" or "livro" it will be delivered at no cost. Some venders decide to put "printed material" which is a taxable item here in Brasil. A little frustrating to say the least and you need to pay taxes and then try to get the money back with an attempted to prove its a book.

I think the better option is to have Prime Amazon and ship to a company in the US who specializes in repackaging these items for you. They then send you these packages for a small fee with the paperwork correct. It's still not 100% effective without having complications, but the percentage of packages making it with no problems is a lot higher. These people are professionals and do a great job packing your new box. You can also have multiple items shipped to them and packed together.

A simple internet search can find some of these companies or private message me for the one I am using right now.

I am interested in Remote Controlled Airplanes and Helicopters on Small Scales ,does anyone know of prohibitions? Also is there a restrictions on Bump and Go toys for kids.

Any goods except books are taxed in Brazil! Around 51% federal tax and 35% state tax. Some states don't charge. If they use storage at any airport that's another charge(Federal Express).

People fly remote controlled planes and helicopters in Brazil all the time. Kites are also not prohibited.

There are companies that especially deliver to Brazil. You can buy on-line and let them deliver here with the correct paperwork. Just Google it and find these companies.

Will the taxes still apply if I use a designated shipper or will the shipper be able to bypass the tax man ?

聽 For it may be cheaper to fly home and buy the things I want and bring them back as luggage.

I will be going back to the states next year and will order all the things I want.

I understand the paperwork , yet the storage and the taxation would be the killer part. If the taxes are 85% of the value on each item聽 after 10 orders say @$150 usd each, I could have flown to Miami got a hotel room for a week and had a vacation and a shopping trip (lol)
Thanks for the info as it all helps.
