Brazil
Today Brazil receives over 250,000 cross border parcels per day mainly from the USA and China. This number has grown over 45% from 2012 to 2013.  Brazil also has one of the highest import duties & taxes in the world equal to approximately 91% to 96% of the value of the goods. This makes the effective communication and collection of duties a critical component of e-commerce into Brazil.
