Shipping Services and Couriers in Brazil: real experience from chats

Short answer
Sending parcels between Russia and Brazil via postal services is discouraged due to unreliable delivery, long transit times, and extremely high import duties. It is recommended to arrange for personal delivery by travelers to avoid these significant costs and logistical complications.

From real experience

Sending parcels from Russia to Brazil is complex and often problematic.
High customs duties, sometimes exceeding the value of the contents, are common. There are reports of missing postal notifications, leading to parcels being returned to the sender. For example, a small parcel from Belarus with personal items was assessed a duty of 1000 Brazilian Real. It is generally recommended to arrange for personal delivery by someone traveling to Brazil rather than relying on postal services due to these difficulties and potential extra costs.
