Import Taxes - Importing To Brazil

Foxsense sells wholesale electronics to more and more Brazilian customers and we would like to share a bit of background information we have built up on import taxes in Brazil.

How much duty would i be paying if any?

Are you aware that as an importer you have liability? If a phone explodes you pay the damage. Think about that.
