Things to note when entering the Brazilian market
Pricing strategy
The selling price on Meikeduo should be consistent, and different prices should not be set between different markets or channels. Sellers should not set a lower selling price on Meikeduo than on its official website or other platforms to avoid misleading consumers or disrupting market order.
The importance of reasonable selling price
When formulating a reasonable product selling price, factors such as product cost, expected profits, competitive conditions, market demand, target audience, and exchange rate fluctuations should be considered. Sellers need to set reasonable product selling prices based on their own costs and expected profits, combined with market competition and consumer demand.
Tax Guide
It is important to understand Brazil’s tax regulations. Import duties, value-added tax (ICMS), imported goods surcharge (Taxa de Importação), as well as social contribution tax (COFINS) and social integration scheme tax (PIS) are common types of taxes.
