I imported to Paraguay and had a nightmare!
I recently imported to Paraguay thinking that with minimal import duties it would be fine. It wasn't!
The issue is that any goods with a value over $100 will be retained by customs and even if the value is less than $100 they may decide to hold it anyway to check its value. The customs officials are extremely corrupt taking back-handers from import agents. In short ONLY import agents are allowed to import into the country you as an individual are not permitted to. What will happen is that you will need to pay an import agent to complete the paper work and release your spare parts which will cost a minimum of $100 on top of courier fees. It will take a few hours for the paperwork to be completed but may take all day.
However, I would suggest that Brasil maybe less corrupt but would be more expensive to import to.
I hope that helps
