The graphic designer Amanda Santiago , 28 , has lost count of how much money sent to the other side of the world to pay for your multiple purchases . But one thing is clear : 90 % of your wardrobe is occupied by clothing, footwear and accessories " made in China" . As Amanda - who created the blog " I changed my wardrobe in China " - Kelly Barreto , 29 , and Sergio Pitta , 20 , love fuxicar Chinese online commerce novelty seeking and low prices . The value , incidentally , is what attracts most : a product purchased on these sites costs up to 80 % less than a similar sold in Brazil .
- If the purchases had been made here , probably only a third of my closet would be busy . I bought a sweater for U$ 16 dollars (about R$ 36) and found an equal in a shop for R$ 250 ! Most parts purchased from Chinese websites out half of the value used in Brazil - Amanda account .

Another advantage is that most sites offer free shipping to Brazil . In these cases the consumer must exercise patience and even forget who made the purchase : deliveries may take , on average , up to 60 days to arrive .

Data from a survey conducted by online payments PayPal website shows that 48 % of Brazilians who make purchases from overseas websites opt for Chinese pages , more than Americans ( 39 % ) and Australian ( 31 % ) .

A favorite of Kelly Barreto is AliExpress . In an attempt to not blow the budget , the technique Buildings set a monthly limit for your purchases ( US$ 100 ) , but almost always violates the rules created by herself:

- I go on websites every day. It is impossible not to look . It's addictive . Practically every day arrives any order. My doorman says that shortly will deliver a Chinese in the building!

Government eye on consumer spree

The increasing number of orders arriving to welcome the foreign country opened the eyes of the Internal Revenue Service , in partnership with the Post Office , a way of studying , from next year , inspect and taxing purchases made over the Internet . In 2012 , according to the Revenue , there were 14.4 million international postal items , which may or may not correspond to order products . In 2013 , there was a high of 44 % , with shipments rising to 20.8 million .

A mistake made by many consumers believe that buying is worth just under U$ 50 are not taxed by the IRS . Up to U$ 500, it runs the risk of paying a rate of up to 60 % on value , which does not necessarily correspond to the invoice , since it is fixed by the Revenue itself. Up to U$ 50 , only orders ( gifts ) made from individual to individual is not taxed , provided there is no evidence that characterizes trade practice .

If the goods are detained by customs , the customer will receive a notice from the post office . You should then go to the agency to pay the fee and take the package .
