Good to know: Brazil has no single nationwide VAT rate. The 17% option is only an illustrative ICMS component: actual ICMS varies by state, product and transaction. In 2026, legacy taxes coexist with informational IBS 0.1% and CBS 0.9% test fields, generally offset or waived when reporting duties are met.
