Proposal Restores Exemption Up to US$ 50, Amends Decree-Law 1.804/80 and Moves in Conclusive Character in the House of Representatives Committees.
Since the first semester of the year, the bill 3261/25, presented by deputy Kim Kataguiri ( União-SP), proposes zero rate of import tax for international purchases up to 50 dollars.
Thus, the initiative restores the exemption for postal shipments from abroad.
Additionally, it aligns consumer protection with tax rationality, according to the parliamentarian.
Legal Basis and Justification
The text amends Decree-Law 1.804/80, which defines simplified taxation rules for international shipments.
Therefore, the project resumes a policy with no significant impact on the public budget.
At the same time, it reduces operational costs for the Federal Revenue and the postal service, according to the author’s defense.
Furthermore, the proposal stimulates access to technology and international culture.
These shipments represent a tiny fraction of the total market, according to the deputy.

Current Rule in Effect
Since August 1, 2024, international purchases up to 50 dollars have been subject to 20% import tax.
According to the federal government, the charge aims to protect the competitiveness of Brazilian companies.
The measure ensures, therefore, a fair environment for domestic producers.
Key Points
- Current Rate: 20% for shipments up to US$ 50 since 08/01/2024.
- Proposal of Bill 3261/25: eliminate the rate for up to US$ 50.
- Foundation: Decree-Law 1.804/80 on simplified taxation.
- Claimed Benefits: lower operational cost for Federal Revenue and postal service and greater access to international goods and culture.
Processing and Next Steps
The proposal will be analyzed in conclusive character by the committees of economic development, finance and taxation and constitution, justice and citizenship.
Thus, if approved in the committees, the text may proceed directly to the Federal Senate.
However, to become law, the content needs to be approved by the House and the Senate.
Why This Matters Now
While the 20% charge has been in effect since 08/01/2024, Bill 3261/25 seeks to change the tax scenario for small international purchases.
Therefore, consumers and companies are closely following the processing.
The exemption up to US$ 50 could reduce final costs and simplify processes for postal shipments.
Additionally, the debate balances consumer protection and domestic competitiveness.
This topic has been central since 2024 and returns strongly in 2025.
