Shipping from China to Brazil: times, customs & tracking
How long parcels take, what customs expects, and how to track every step of the journey.
Typical delivery times
| Service | Working days |
|---|---|
| Economy (Cainiao) | 25–60 |
| E-commerce express (YunExpress) | 10–25 |
| Premium express (DHL, FedEx) | 5–12 |

Customs & duties
The Remessa Conforme program streamlines taxed imports: 20% on shipments up to $50 and 60% above (minus $20). Customs is where most time is lost — Curitiba and São Paulo hubs can hold parcels for weeks.
Tracking tips
Watch for two distinct codes on Brazilian tracking (the international code and a domestic one). GetPackRoute links both when the Correios handoff appears.
FAQs — China to Brazil
How much tax will I pay on a Chinese parcel in Brazil?
Through Remessa Conforme: 20% up to $50, 60% above it. Small untaxed shipments still risk inspection and fees.
Why is my tracking frozen after "received by customs"?
Brazilian clearance queues are long. Typical waits: 5–20 days; at peak times more. Contact Correios if it exceeds 30 days.
Who delivers the last mile in Brazil?
Correios in most of the country, with private couriers appearing more often in large cities.
Can I track the Brazilian local code too?
Yes — paste either number in GetPackRoute; the timeline merges both when carriers hand off.
