Shipping from Connecticut to Brazil

Shipping from the USA to Brazil can take anywhere from 2 business days to 4 weeks, depending on the carrier and speed, with express options (DHL, FedEx, UPS) often delivering in 2-7 days and slower/economy services (USPS First-Class, economy freight) taking 1-4 weeks, though customs in Brazil can add significant delays.

Shipping to Brazil is expensive due to notoriously high import taxes and duties (like the 60% flat tax on many items), complex and costly customs procedures, significant bureaucracy, port congestion, poor domestic infrastructure, and added fees for various taxes (IPI, ICMS, PIS/COFINS), all combining to inflate final costs for businesses and consumers.

Shipping a 20 lb package costs roughly $20-$40 for ground services (UPS Ground, FedEx Ground, USPS Ground Advantage) for short distances, but can jump to $30-$100+ for faster options or longer trips, with carriers like UPS and FedEx offering competitive ground rates around $24-$39, while USPS Ground Advantage might be slightly higher at $30+, depending heavily on your exact location (distance/zones) and chosen speed. For international, expect $50-$100+.
