Some of the States and municipalities of 
Brazil have a special tax for commercial 
travellers, which varies from year to year, 
concerning the payment of which arrange 
ments can be best made when on the ground. 
A small tax is also levied on trade samples, 
presumably to be refunded when leaving the 
country. It is advisable to learn how best to 
handle the situation from travellers with 
whom you will meet en route. As a rule, all 
of these are mere matter of detail and can be 
advantageously arranged, through the proper 
channel.
