Shop from USA to Brazil: A Practical Amaboxly Guide

You can shop from USA to Brazil with Amaboxly in three ways: order an item already listed in our shop, ask us to buy from a US store for you, or buy it yourself and forward the parcel. Each route has its own costs and timing. Import charges assessed by Receita Federal are always separate from what you pay us.

Start with the delivered price in reais

The US price tag is one piece of the total. Add the item price, any service fee, shipping to Brazil, Brazilian import charges and your bank’s currency conversion before you commit.

Prices on amaboxly.com can be shown in BRL as an estimate. We charge in ringgit at checkout and your bank converts, so the final amount in reais can differ slightly. Card payments work from anywhere we deliver.

For forwarding, Brazil is one of 17 destinations on a benchmark-based rate: a published competitor benchmark minus US$0.10 per billable kg. Your quote confirms the freight figure, plus door delivery, import or clearance charges and any services. The calculator on our shipping fees page estimates Malaysia routes, so its numbers should not be assumed for a Brazilian address.

Billed weight is the higher of actual and dimensional weight, with a 1 kg minimum per box. Take a box of 18 x 12 x 8 inches: 18 x 12 x 8 = 1,728, divided by 166 = about 10.41 lb, times 0.4536 = about 4.72 kg. If the scale shows 3 kg, the billed weight is 4.72 kg. A puffer jacket in a large box costs more to move than the scale suggests.

Three ways to shop from USA to Brazil

Order from the Amaboxly shop

If the item is already in our shop, use the product page and shop checkout. Each listing is labelled Pre-Order, Ready Stock USA or Ready Stock Malaysia, and the shop’s own price, delivery and returns policy apply. Everything we sell is sourced from US outlets, boutiques and authorized retailers.

Buy for me

Open My Account, Forwarding, choose "Buy for me" and send the exact US product link with the product name, size, colour, quantity, store price and a cart or product-page screenshot. We review availability and eligibility, send a payment request, then place and pay for the retailer order once you have paid. Stock and retailer acceptance are never guaranteed.

Buy for me is useful when a US store rejects a Brazilian card or billing address. Send the link and the error message so we can check. The assisted-purchase fee is shown on that page and in your payment request.

I bought something

You buy from the US retailer yourself and ship to the receiving address and suite we confirm. Keep the receipt and retailer tracking number, declare the parcel in your forwarding account with accurate contents and paid value, then review the quote before authorizing shipment. Warehouse photos, invoices and shipment progress appear in My Orders. Our worldwide parcel forwarding page explains the service.

Checks before you pay a US store

• Ask for a Brazil quote first, on WhatsApp or through our contact page, and include your full address with CEP. A listed country does not mean every item, carrier route or postcode is accepted.
• Tell us about batteries (installed or spare), power banks, liquids, aerosols, cosmetics, magnets, radio functions, fragile glass or ceramics and bulky household items. These need extra review before buying.
• Get the complete receiving address and suite details before checkout. Never ship to an incomplete address.
• We do not sell freight insurance and forwarding terms give no loss or damage cover, so glass, ceramics and liquids travel at your risk. You can arrange cover elsewhere.
• Our US base is in New Hampshire, which has no general state sales tax. That can benefit eligible purchases delivered to the confirmed New Hampshire receiving address. It does not remove Brazilian import duties, taxes or clearance charges.

Timing, deposit and balance for Brazil

Pre-Order and Ready Stock USA items take about 30 days from the order date. That is an estimate, and peak seasons, US store delays and customs inspections can add a few days. Pre-orders are usually bought within 1 to 3 business days, and your first update arrives within 3 to 5 business days.

A 50% deposit is offered on Pre-Order items only. On the product page choose the colour, choose "Pay 50% deposit" and add to bag. Checkout shows what you pay today and the balance due later. Ready Stock items are paid in full.

Orders for Brazil ship straight from our New Hampshire hub, so the balance is paid before the item ships from the USA. The payment link comes by email and WhatsApp. International shop parcels go by FedEx and are usually in transit 1 to 5 working days after dispatch.

For forwarded parcels, confirm departure, arrival and local delivery timing in your quote.

Receita Federal and import charges

Customs, duties and taxes are set by Brazil, are the buyer’s responsibility and are not included in our prices or delivery fees. Receita Federal assesses a parcel using its declared value and description, and receipts support that declaration.

We declare the accurate item value on customs forms for shop orders. For forwarding, you must give an accurate declaration and receipt. We do not quote Brazilian duty rates or thresholds, so check Receita Federal’s current guidance before you buy.

Returns and cancellations

Shop orders can be returned within 30 days of delivery, including change of mind. Change-of-mind returns must be in new condition, a 10% restocking fee of the total amount paid for the order applies, and the cost of shipping it back to the seller is deducted from your refund. Contact us with your order number before sending anything back. Report damage immediately with photos of the item and packaging.

Cancelling a Pre-Order or Ready Stock USA item before delivery carries a 10% processing fee, and payment gateway fees are not refunded. A Buy for me request is free to cancel while it is Submitted or Information needed. Once the item has been bought, the charge is USD 35 per checkout. Full terms are on our refund and returns page.
