Brazil's Lula signs end of 'blusinha tax' on international e-commerce

President Lula will sign a provisional measure ending the 'taxa das blusinhas' (tax on blouses), a levy on low-value international e-commerce shipments, approved by Congress last week. This reverses a recent policy and signals a shift toward more open cross-border trade, likely benefiting platforms like Shein and AliExpress. The move may pressure domestic retailers and alter import dynamics.
