Brazil has a 60% import tax. Not sure if this applies to everything but it does to individuals and small businesses.

It only applies to individuals or business that choose to use a simplified import procedure. Large imports pay between 0% and 18% on most goods; IT hardware import taxes tops at 12%.

Of course, the import tax is just the beginning.
