Every destination has its own duty-free threshold, import taxes and list of restricted items. This page brings together the Discover guides for shipping from Brazil, organised by country and region, with the point that most affects cost or transit time in each.
Pick the destination in the table and open the guide: it covers the documents required, who pays the taxes and the steps to ship with DHL Express.

United States | The exemption for parcels up to USD 800 is suspended, and some Brazilian products pay the Section 301 surcharges. | |

Documents that apply to every destination
For any destination, three things decide whether a shipment clears without delay: a correctly completed commercial invoice, the right HS/NCM code and a clear description of the contents. The guides on commercial invoices, HS and NCM codes and what you can ship cover these points.
For passports, certificates and contracts, see sending documents abroad. Luggage has its own rules, explained in shipping luggage abroad.
Where to ship from
If you prefer to ship in person, DHL Stores help with packing and shipping documents. Before you ship, check the current promo codes.
Entry rules change often. Recent changes, listed by date, are in Regulatory updates.
For information only. Thresholds, rates and restrictions are those stated in each guide, based on the official sources of the destination country, and may change. Check before you ship.
