Brasília – The Foreign Trade Chamber (Camex) has changed the Import Tax rate on eight computer and telecommunication products to 2%, under an ex-tariff regime. The new tariff will remain in effect until December 31st, 2012. The import tariffs on 245 capital goods have also been altered to 2%, also as an ex-tariff.
The ex-tariff regime is an incentive mechanism to investment in production in the country, through the temporary lowering of the Import Tax on the import of capital goods, computer items and telecommunication items that are not manufactured in Brazil. The changes were published today (2nd), on the Official Gazette.
Another ruling of the Camex has lifted the Import Tax on the vaccine against Hepatitis B and the Vero-cell (human use) vaccine against rabies.
