Hello fellow expat, I'm Bello from Nigeria, I live and work here in São Paulo. Please I want to know the amount Correio will charge me to receive a cellphone worth $200 from China? Thank you.

Sometimes they will charge you and sometimes it will pass right through. It could be all of the way to 100% tax. You might be better off just buying it here. If you do have it sent make sure it is correct for the system here.

Thank you Jim. The Issue is the product of that kind of cellphone is not here in Brazil. It's a new cellphone with brand Xiaomi. I will have to relax and get more information about it.

Be sure that it is compatible with the cell systems here. Check with your carrier.

Yes I have checked and I saw a lot feedbacks from Brazil, Mexico and Colombia in the seller reviews. The phone is Globalstar version and can work anywhere in the world, but it is a China Product.
