Understanding Shein's New Tax Policy and Aliexpress's Potential Discounts

📦 Shein is the first company to implement 'remessa conforme' on their products.

💲 There are different tax percentages for products below and above $50.

🗓️ Shein officially started implementing 'remessa conforme' on September 14th.

The video discusses the ICMS tax in Brazil, which is a percentage applied to the price of a product.

The ICMS tax rate increases to 20.48% when the price of the product is above 50 dollars.

The ICMS tax rate is lower, at 17%, when the price of the product is below 50 dollars.

📦 When importing a product above $50, the total price is calculated by adding the product price, taxes, and ICMS.

💰 The ICMS tax rate for buyers from Minas Gerais is 17%, while for AliExpress buyers, it is 25%.

🧮 The import tax rate for products above $50 is 60%, calculated based on the product price minus any discounts.

📚 Products above $50 are subject to a 92% tax, while products below $50 are subject to a 20% tax.
